If I'm into a bout of short tacking and they are in the way, I like to seat them on the beer cooler inside the cabin. That goes over better if you tell them their job is to hand out beer, starting with themselves.
If I've got a cockpit full of experienced sailors who are running the boat, I do the same thing. I go below to get out of the way.........and get a head start on the beer.

That may well prove to be the lesser of two evils if you routinely sail with clueless non sailors who aren't willing to move their legs even after you've explained the need to them.
The 15 does make for some intimacy if there is more than one in the cockpit.
The 17, with its longer cockpit, does work better with such passengers.
