O que este vídeo aborda
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
