When helming, you have an equally tempting choice of being seated or standing. Though the helm seat puts you in a good spot to see clearly over the bow, with the seat bolster up you can wedge yourself in standing, and get a slightly better view. Visibility on all quarters is outstanding thanks to the abundance of window space. I could be wrong, but I got the impression that the windscreen wipers have been uprated over the standard MF895, as the ones fitted to the Offshore were quite capable of dealing with the constant deluge of sea cascading over the windscreen and coachroof. The standard MF895, I recall, was wanting in this area. here
