did two trips on her as cadet with north star, something sticks in my mind it was a strange propulsion set it, might be another boat though

they had those z propellors barry a bit like an azi only not retractable. and on the bridge it was like a steering wheel and you turned it the opposite way you wanted to go , a bit like an outboard motor. if i remember rightly the shaft was a strange set up as well. i could be wrong but i am sure it went up at an angle.
