[PCW] Flybridge

[Gary Stavrou]

In my search to buy my first power catamaran, there is a basic early  
decision to make... whether to have a flybridge or not.
My feeling is that in the many rivers and estuaries that I hope to  
cruise on the eastern Australian coast a flybridge would be the  
preferred helm position.
Obviously there is a premium to be paid for a flybridge; extra cost,  
extra height, reduced stability, exposed instrumentation etc.
My question to persons on this list is:
(a) if your cat has a flybridge, do you use it as much as you thought  
you would or is the cabin helm more convenient?
(b) if your cat doesn't have a fly bridge do you wish it did?
Thanks
