Where can i find a steering wheel that you can fit onto a pc to learn steering manouvers?

The "helm" or steering wheel is not always on the right or starboard side. Many vessels have a center helm (new Rampage 33 for instance) and a few have it on the port side. It has nothing to do with the buoy system or prop torque! If prop torque was correct then all the center console boats (Boston Whaler, Make, etc etc)and boats with left side helms would flip over.

Ferry giving a sound signal of three long blasts, one short and one long , on coming into port. ..meaning?

You opened can of worms here there are several correct answers to this, but one of the main ones is when the small recreational vessels that were prop driven started appearing their bottoms where rounded with a very small keel, so when power was applied to the engine the clockwise rotating propeller pushed against the water causing the boat to torque counter-clockwise and lift so if you added the drivers weight to the right side of the boat it helped it counter this action.
