so when the boat leans over your not very very very near to the water if not in it in some cases.

And to view the sails better

How come big achts have 2 wheels? Is it for extreme cases of back seat driver? And wouldn't the boat go in circles? Or is it so when the boat is heeling you go on the windward side d=so you don't get wet?

Yeah, (bigger) yachts have two wheels so you can helm from the windward side - it's easier to see where you're going, cos your jib isn't in the way! Sometimes on boats around 40' designed for the charter market they use two wheels because it makes it easier to get to the transom, when the boats are moored stern to. A big wheel is nicer to steer with but harder to get round!

how big are the 505 kites these days? They look HUUUGE but I can't seem to find a measurement written down anywhere for their size. Definitely sub zero on the cool wall!
