Unusual place to steer

  1. There is another helm on the other side. I wonder why.

  2. These 'boats' can do 40+ knots so the controlling helmsman HAS to be able to see what is in front of him. I watched a video on the newest boats and there is a port-side helmsman and trimmer, a starboard-side helmsman and trimmer placing the grinders (meat powerplants) down in the hull where they can't even see what is going on.

  5. Impressive. Few times been on a sail ship, found it so amazing how fast the wind pushes a boat.

    1. Theoretically they can sail faster than the wind. And make their own wind. Some of these high tech boats prove that.
