17 mins confidence: 
not so much of a 'bridge' by size Explanation: I think they're being humble or modest - saying that their ship's bridge isn't really that much of a bridge. Like it's not as big as a bridge you'd find on more expensive or bigger yachts - but they're happy with it. There's also the small possibility that they know they're using 'ponti' in place of the slightly more formal 'plancia'. |
