Listers,
Here’s an overdue report on this situation. Basically a tale of warning about
what can go wrong offshore, with potentially very serious consequences.
By coincidence a few weeks ago I came into contact on Facebook with one of
Calypso’s crew, a retired pediatrician. We subsequently
Thanks all for the input.
I should have added that I will be using the chartplotter for racing, and more
for B's sail-steer information ( TWS, TWA, AWS, AWS, TWD, laylines, wind
shift patterns, routing) than for the plotter aspect.

I have a fixed plotter at the nav table, I leave that running (openplotter on
a raspberry Pi) and when I need a chart at the helm while steering, I use an
iPad in a waterproof case, on a detachable ram mount. The iPad is really only
used in tight quarters while steering so - like Joel- I
John, feel free to go climb on Talisman I have one between wheel and post.

I have a RAM mount on the pedestal guard, but rarely rotate the plotter.

John,
IIRC The Office had speakers back there instead of access plates. If I
removed them I could reach 3 of the 4 the nuts on the underside of the
cockpit. Minimized the time in the lazarette.

So I believe we have a plan. After discussions with other C owners whose
rudderpost arrangement is similar the culprit is the stainless plate bolted to
the cockpit floor. It has a bronze bushing through which the rudder post
passes. That plays a significant role in keeping the shaft in
I have a plotter at the helm of my 35 MK I. It faces aft, if I want to navigate
from forward, like I do about 90% of the time, I look at the computer on the
chart table or SeaIQ/Navionics on my iPad.
If I rotated the helm plotter sideways I think the mainsheet would get it.
