[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit Cushions

[Wally Buck]

I sail with my cushions all of the time. Assuming you are not on the rail 
.... place your feet on the edge of the lee side cockpit seat for support. I 
tell guests to just sit back and enjoy. I didn't used to do this and I had a 
guest wind up under the lee bench seat. Short people and kids have a problem 
here.
