Ship wheel/united states
Wondering if anyone possibly know anything about this type of ship wheel. I’ve done a lot of research but wanted to see what other people thought. Its 45 inches and the hub is cast iron.

Searching to buy a Nauticat 33 or similar
Hi, My Dad has had his eye on a very reasonably priced Nauticat 33 Motor Sailor but unfortunately a deposit was taken, and there aren't many others in the UK for sale within budget, so I decided to consult Reddit for some boat searching help / recommendations.
The main idea is to purchase a motor sailor to live aboard. It will be moored in the marina near my dad's house for the majority of the time. He's fallen in love with the Nauticat 33 specifically because it's very robust, sails well in heavy seas, just about crew able solo depending on the circumstances, the abundance of wood, and the general old school-ness of it. Also the fact that they have side access to the wheelhouse rather than rear access.
He's looking to spend between 20-35k and ideally sail the boat home to Cardiff
I'm looking for similar boat recommendations or good ways of finding the right boat! ⛵🛥️⚓
