When the cockpit becomes uncomfortable due
to weather conditions, either rain, sun or cold, there is nothing more
pleasurable than to retreat into a comfortable wheelhouse. Gone are the
days (and nights) of wearing foul weather gear, sun protection and
unpleasant cruising. The wheelhouse on the Shannon Pilot 43 Mk II is
the ultimate escape from the elements. Critical visibility over the
bow, through the side and rear windows is excellent, unrestricted and
panoramic. See your sails, the sky, or the stars through opening Lexan
hatches above the port and starboard swivel seats. With a reverse cycle
air conditioning/heating system installed, the Pilot 43 truly becomes
the "yacht for all seasons".
In the wheelhouse of the Shannon Pilot 43 Mk II you navigate with the latest technology and equipment at your fingertips or climb effortlessly down through the sole hatches into the spacious engine room to check the engine, pumps, compressors or one of the many systems that keep your vessel operational. Settee seats port and starboard are great for lounging on a dreary day or doubling as berths when guests arrive. Or, instead of a sette seat, one owner chose a game table starboard with a dining table to port. Seats are provided for the helmsman and navigator that swivel to become part of the overall seating area.
