Great Fun To Sail

With her tiller above deck, the lucky person at the helm sits in the aft corner of the cockpit, leaving all the rest of the seating space available for other crewmembers.

Her cockpit is big and comfortable. You are neither perched up or sunk down. All the vertical and athwartships dimensions are perfect. The seats are generous, flat slabs enabling you to slide around while in a sitting posture and they allow a wide variety of positions and angles, so on a long day’s sail you are not cramped and have plenty of legroom. The opposing seat’s edge is a good footrest when she heels, and the coaming is flared to the proper angle for a backrest.
