What this video covers
Edgar and Sâmia are constructing a custom steering pedestal and navigation station cabinet for their Delta 41 refit.0:12 The project centers on positioning a 70cm fiberglass steering wheel from Project Sail to ensure ergonomic clearance for the operator while standing.4:19 Edgar built the cabinet structure to house electrical components, including an inverter and battery charger, while incorporating a dedicated compartment for the hydraulic steering pump and engine throttle controls.12:49 The design includes a removable floor panel that doubles as a step, providing the crew with an elevated vantage point to see over the cabin windows while maintaining access to the engine's heat exchanger for maintenance.5:57 The team used a router and custom guides to adjust the fit of the cabinet doors after initial cutting errors.6:47 Future steps include bonding the structure with epoxy, installing latches, and applying final finishes.13:24 The layout successfully integrates the steering station into the pilot house, providing a clear line of sight for navigation while preserving interior cabin space.16:42
