After seeing Hurdy Gurdy's pic in another thread and showing his wheelhouse helm mounted port side it got me wondering why.
Probably 90% + downeast boats you see have wheelhouse helm stb side (mine included) and very few port side.
So why is it ?
It a nav thing ?
I asked a friend Chuck on the Skip A Dory some years ago why his BHM was set up that way when he had it built years ago, he said his previous boat was that way as his lobster gear was set up left handed.
So why is it most common on stb side ?
