[Rhodes22-list] cockpit filler support panels

[Stephen Staum]

Art,

My 11 boards fill the footwell completely with no gaps.  It is usually nice 
and cool in the cockpit at night in MA.

Stephen,

Do you keep a gap to the cockpit sole on the cabin end?  I have found the 
cockpit berth very comfortable at night, given protection from the elements. 
One key factor in the summer season is how to be comfortably cool.

And,  have a nice day!
