Nav. bridge visibility on planing craft

Momentum increasing by the square of the velocity and all that, I thought it'd be a pretty comical situation to envision.

Yokebutt.

 

Then imagine standing in the bow with your radio-controlled remote control stearing (because there's no visibility from the pilot station) and the device all of a sudden out of order.
(this has happened by the way, not at 50 knots but in a port)

 

The truth of the matter is that - based on the MBY report - the Wally 118 is fundamentally flawed. An amazing study in form over function that should never leave its berth!
