German term or phrase: äußeren Umlauf
Context:

"Im klassischen Trawler Stil mit Portugieser Brücke – einem äußeren Umlauf vor dem Steuerhaus..."

Talking about the Flemming 65 motor yacht.

There are 2 small pictures of the boat in question here:

http://www.southamptonboatshow.com/2009_home/news/exhibitor_...

for example, and it seems that it is actually the "Fleming 65", but even large pictures and more detailes websites don't seem to mention the technical term for something as simple as an "Umlauf".

P.S. The broad field should, in my opinion, be Sport, which is unfortunately not an option. None of the existing options seem to apply to sailing, hence my choice of "Other". If this can be corrected, please feel free to change it to "Sport".

I looked at the layouts of this boat and blew it up to read the labelling.

Yes. Actually, to be honest I didn't read your question again after I'd found my answer (I was a bit excited to have "solved" a puzzle) and didn't realise that I was repeating the text. How would you describe it then? Maybe "Walkway around the bridge"? So Armorel was absolutely right then!

external walkway


Explanation:
Just a suggestion in the absence of a more technical term.

Fitted within the spacious wheelhouse is an extensive electronics package which includes Koden radar, Garmin plotter, Icom VHF and a Coursemaster autopilot. A walkway all round the wheelhouse allows fishing from any point on the boat.

.... and "wheelhouse" for "Steuerhaus"?

Asker: Great, thanks. Yes, that could work, or "walkway around cabin" in Google's cache of http://woodbridge.oodle.com/vehicle/boat/-/condition_new/: "Fleming, 65 .... 91" aft deck space 28" fore deck space 18" walkway around cabin" (although the live version of the page has since changed).

agree  Rolf Keiser: judging from the pictures, I would also refer to it as a "walkway"

Asker: I see! So this is an explanation of what the Portuguese bridge deck (Portugieser Brücke) is in layman's terms I guess.

eben VOR dem Steuerhaus, da ist keine Rumlauframpe, sondern eine Stange zum Festhalten
