So having 1 single large wheel on a ship of that size is what some are doing? Any boats seen, someone have picture pls?
Bloody hell, you got that sorted quick!
I'm serious (sorry) but could someone explain WHY this setup with the 4 wheels? Cannot really be an old school power assisted thing could it?View attachment 84261
Ok its 4 wheels but it is a single steering position which is what you are talking about and she is bigger than your planning
This is on HMS Warrior, google her, perhaps you could just get a copy of the plans and scale the dimensions down a bit

My van has 5 wheels not including spare and that’s MUCH smaller. How about lots of wheels in different locations?I'm serious (sorry) but could someone explain WHY this setup with the 4 wheels? Cannot really be an old school power assisted thing could it?
Those are actually remote steering stations, you can unclip them and slide them to wherever most suits the helmsman, but the cables were pretty messy. Garmin are developing a wireless system based on it - their tech support people are really helpful and will talk you through it.View attachment 84261

I got the impression Trifty was already well oiled?Handy tip when you get one don’t use sun tan lotion if you go for a teak deck
Came to the right place........a ship of fools!Why I am asking here is to get some sensible input from experienced sailors... before going to the ship yard. So I know a bit or two and they dont take me for total fool.
That ("Presssen") is not a barque.If you build a five-masted barque, and use it for eco-friendly cargo transport you coukd provide gainful employment to several hundred eco-warriors, Greta Thunberg to serve as Mistress-at-arms with her vegan cat'o' nine tails!
