Which yachts up to 38' have an inside steering position?

I know of the Moody Eclipse 33,38.

I thought the Southerly 110 had inside steering but after a few searches proved a negative.

The emphasis is on sailing rather than motor sailor although a good motor sailor that sails well in up to force 4 will be ok. Wifey says anything above force 5 is a NO GO ZONE!

Im seriously interested in buying something suitable soon!

The inside steering comes from out power boat days. shmbo says if its raining or cold she will not don the cold weather gear or go out..

Inside steering not essential but it is a serious consideration if I want to get on the water again!

Nicholson 38 if budget's a constraint!

Colvic Watson, Fishers, Nauticats, Claymore... plenty of wheelhouse-equipped vessels. OK, so some will not come alive till F3, but they will provide shelter warmth and a great feeling of security and confidence. The great thing about a wheelhouse is sailing in shirtsleeves when every one else is in full foulies.
 
Nelson 38 looks the business!!

Budget up to 80k but will go more for the right boat.


Now googling Nelsons... Thanks

Funny, I thought I knew most considerations but this is fabulous!!

Keep them coming.

Why would you want an inside steering position?
- It takes up space
- You have to double up on cables and controls

Go for a good autopilot on the steering quadrant and a remote control, what could be better and it is much more versatile.
- Tend to something up the bow
- put out fenders
- adjust / take in sails
and you can still steer.
 
You could add the Voyager 35 to the list above - some info about her in the Yachtsnet archives :

(SRM on this Forum has one in the Orkneys)

And the Westerly Vulcan (ok, she is not the prettiest deck saloon boat around) :

Or a Westerly Konsort Duo - http://uk.yachtworld.com/boats/1986/Westerly-Konsort-Duo-1912799/United-Kingdom

The LM 30 doesnt really have a deck saloon as such, more a semi-open wheelhouse - http://www.yachtsnet.co.uk/archives/lm30/lm30.htm
