Center Cockpit Hunter
On the merits of center cockpits, I have a question. I''ve read quite a few heavy weather horror stories about helmsman and/or crew being injured or thrown overboard by boarding seas, when running before breaking waves in aft cockpits. I''ve never been offshore (do Carnival cruises count?) but I''d like to know if any of you think a well designed CC is safer in that situation.
