That seat set-up sounds interesting. I have a similar set up, in that it can be put down for ease of entry and exit via the helm door, and for standing at the helm. But as you can see, facing aft was not an option. I much prefer to drive from the lower helm unless in perfect conditions, as all movement is exaggerated upstairs, but also you are more isolated from others on board. I hope you will post some pics as soon as possible when finished and able.
Sorry about the side on thing. It's an annoying feature that happens when you have shots taken in portrait mode for some reason. They appear correctly orientated on my computer, but are not when uploaded, and I can't be bothered trying to straighten them up - just turn it sideways, ok..?
