interesting. it might not be hard to change the wheel to a tiller and at first i thought about it. but now i like the wheel and wouldnt want to give it up. it requires opposite reflexes (unless you streer holding the bottom of the wheel) compared to a tiller.
Looks like that boat is all the way down under.....
One of the advantages of the tiller is obvious in the first picture. The cost of adding autopilot to a wheel is much more.
How is your sport pilot working out? They are now close to $2000, an amount I am unwilling to spend. Since I usually single-hand and am contemplating longer cruises, an autohelm would be beneficial. While I have gotten used to the wheel, I still prefer a tiller and I think it would take up less cockpit room - at least at anchor.
I am curious as to where they installed the holding tank. I would guess on the port side. I also wonder if it was do e at the factory.
Sport pilot?
Holding tank? Tasmania. Not sure there is a holding tank.
I'm a tiller guy but I have to admit I love the wheel detail that is used on the Horizon Cats. A very proper and traditional detail. And in Catboats, what's more important that traditional details?

Sorry Brackish. I got you confused with Bremer Speck who installed a raymarine sportpilot autohelm on his Horizon Cat.
a big ;D for the Tasmanian holding tank comment.
