Designing and fabricating the helm station for Delos 2.0, an aluminum catamaran under construction, consumed multiple days and dozens of layout iterations before the crew locked in a final arrangement.▶ 0:02 Brian, Kaz, and Dan worked from a single fixed constraint — the steering wheel's chain tensioner, positioned 670–700 mm off the floor and centered on the window — and built outward from there.▶ 2:24 Equipment to fit into the interior helm space includes a B&G Zeus 12-inch chartplotter, a B&G SR autopilot controller, three B&G Triton displays (reduced from five), a 12-inch HDMI touchscreen for electric motor monitoring and OpenCPN, a Raspberry Pi, windlass controls, and a combi throttle for twin electric motors.▶ 9:31 Dan bent and cut an aluminum dashboard panel, iterating through multiple physical mockups — first cardboard cutouts, then plywood templates — before cutting final holes.▶ 7:56 Key ergonomic decisions included centering the throttles on the boat's centerline for maneuvering, grouping the Nani control panel adjacent to the throttle for RPM monitoring, and relocating seldom-used displays to a lower vertical surface.▶ 11:26 A motorized TV lift was also integrated.▶ 16:07 The crew debated a metallic silver paint finish.▶ 17:11 The process confirmed that physical mockups and willingness to scrap earlier designs are essential when fitting dense electronics into a constrained custom helm space.▶ 21:08
