Several of the hoverclubofamerica.org members have sat up there for the channel crossing, this was of course before they were decommissioned.

NOTE: I found out that you really want to sit in first class at the stern end. The bow is where most of the heaving is, the tail just drags a bit flatter in the whitecaps. I would have lost my lunch had I been forced to sit in the very front. Not sure if up on the roof would have isolated any of the heaving motion or would have made it even worse.

Odd in the marriage of wedge shape (lower body) and teardrop shape (greenhouse canopy), however it works in my opinion.
