My colleague and journalism mentor Eric Sorensen has a great pair of articles on powerboat helm functionality and ergonomics in the August-September and October-November issues of Professional Boatbuilder.

Part 1 can be found here. Click the Contents button at the top and find “The View From the Helm, Part 1″.
Part 2 can be found here. Click the Contents button at the top and find “At the Helm, Part 2″.
If you build, commission, or own powerboats of any size, you owe it to yourself to spend a few minutes reading these excellent articles.
