Wind Gauges

[Talulah]

Is there any convention as to which way round wind gauges go?
Do you have full wind gauge on the left and close hauled on the right or the other way around as per this image?

as it's common to read from L to R, I'd go for the big picture (360) on the L, and the close-hauled to the R.

and when you have got the gauges sorted, you will have to start on the colour-coded ropework.

Personally i would not go for that layout.
On a lot of boats the most comfortable place for a crew to huddle is against the instruments
Although the winch bases may , in this case, stop that
One would be forever asking them to move so the helm could see the instruments
Come to that i would not sail with a tent up either. Never did like camping!!
Still to each his own

One problem with having the clocks on the bulkhead is the propensity for the staff to break them with their knees as they wind winches. Box on top of the companion is best IMHO.

The problem with posting a picture of you sailing along is people will disect the photo.
I'm just waiting for someone to come along and pass judgement.
You could have a "What's wrong in this this photo?" competition.

Agreed. We went for two multi type on the garage. Generally used then for speed depth and large wind display.

Depends on how far away they are. I preferred the data on the plotter anyway.

I vet staff, very carefully indeed. nothing damaged in 15 yrs

Nice boat. The thickness of the teak decking looks much better than the norm.

My guess is a Southerly

I agree. As a scientist I'm used to time being a horizontal axis reading from left to right - get the broad-brush pic. first and then zoom in for detail. In a similar vein [but non boaty] I hate the fashion for CVs to start with the present and then work backwards as you read down the page - means that you can't readily see how the individual has progressed from one job to the next in their career.

Southerly! How dare you!

Its a Rustler.

Ahem, "She" is a Rustler
