nice job Joel...I went the other way and made a removable helmsman stand on the sole behind the wheel (used jatoba and raised the sole by 4.5 inches...it also covers the exposed rudder stock...the 35MKII does not have the camel bump seat as some other designs do but with a cushion it is possible to sit comfortably on the aft cockpit coaming and steer the boat, especially when steaming...while under sail I prefer sitting to leeward where I can see my leeward jib ticklers and get protection from the elements...the 36 inch wheel makes steering while seated on the leeward cockpit coaming easy on my 35MKII...proper positioning of a horseshoe life ring and life sling on the pushpit; one each side, double as cushions for my back
