The Cockpit is Dee's control hub above deck, where she will steer the boat and control all of Aviva's many sails.
Each sail has a line that runs through to the cockpit that Dee can then winch up and down. It is also where Dee will reef the mainsail depending on the weather conditions. Aviva has two steering wheels in the cockpit so Dee is able to steer in relative comfort regardless of which tack she is on.
