Overview
An ergonomic redesign of the helm station for a 38ft performance cruiser. The goal was to centralise all navigation controls within natural reach, reducing cognitive load during passages.
Every instrument, switch and control was mapped against a range of body sizes and seating positions. The resulting station allows a single-handed skipper to manage all critical systems without leaving the helm seat.
