Cockpit ergonomy?

[parloponti]

I'm a student of design an for my final project, i have to project a 10 meter yacht cockpit.
Does anyone know if there are some pubblications, books, or every other stuff about ergonomy in yacht design?
Thanks in advance

ABS has rules for ergonomics in general

"Desirable and Undersirable Charactoristics for Offshore Yachts" devotes a chapter to cockpit design--It's an old book but still has good info.
I believe that the coast guard also did some studies re: ergonomics.
