[Public-list] Hi

[p.a.amos at tesco.net]

I agree with George,and I have wheel steering.It dominates the cockpit,is another complication to maintain,and a tiller is better under sail.I would like to put in a hatch in the cockpit sole for easier access to the shaft stuffing box etc,wheel steering makes that impossible.
