SV Restless

 

Pilot house, starboard side. I agonized over what to do with this space for many years. It could have been a settee at sole level, pilot berth outboard, or 2 chairs facing each other, or a settee with a drop down back to make a double, or who knows. I left the space empty for literally 10 years or more while doing other stuff. Finally decided to do something like this, with a raised platform, 2 seats, and a high-low table for dining or reading or playing with a laptop. I once spent 3 days in thick fog in Northeast Harbor, stuck down below in a cave without being able to watch the world go by. With this arrangement we can sit comfortably in port and see out the pilot house windows. The cardboard is an early mockup of the seats, since changed. Next
