Don't most racing yachts have two control stations on either side? This allows the helmsman a better overall view when the boat is heeled over; he can switch from one side to the other.

At least that's what I think. I personally have never owned a yacht. Probably never will. :>)

Hi Jonathan,

>two wheels. Why? Am I misinterpreting what I'm seeing?

You mean the two wheel-like structures with men standing in front of 'em? I would imagine they aren't wheels but maybe pulleys or other assorted stuff. I don't know too much about Yatchs, being a 'Dinghy' man... The principles are more or less the same though.
