With all due respect to Tillerman, I think I would go with Marketa the Tillergirl as guest crew.

An American boat (like a Catalina 29) would likely have most of its cockpit taken up by a big stainless wheel so the skipper could pretend to be an AC jockey.  No cupholders in sight, but note the autopilot and the traveler on the bridgedeck (vs. the cabintop with a 6:1 purchase.)  It’s all good!

 Marketa knows better.
