> In my opinion your best bet will be to find a plastic fabrication company with experience working with marine grade Starboard (or similar) to recreate this piece - unless you can do it yourself. Last year I had to replace the side panels in that rudder head assembly - after spending too much time exploring other alternatives I ultimately had them made at Precision Plastics in Beltsville MD, which isn?t too far from you. They did a great job, based off the old panels; the job took them about a week.

> I recently replaced both my cockpit cushions. After checking with Stan for a source (which he was not able to provide), I got a local auto/marine upholstery shop to make them to my specifications. I supplied them with the materials (from Sailrite) which consisted of:
>
> CushionRite Dry Fast Antimicrobial Open Cell Foam (water pours right through this.) I got mine in 2" thick firm and they are comfortable. Sailrite has this in a 48" x 80" size which would make 2 cushions. Make sure you get the Dry Fast version. My previous cushions were closed cell foam which I would have slightly preferred but I had trouble finding that in the right size.
> Phyfertex standard vinyl mesh fabric on top and sides (8 yards @ 54" wide). Of course, Sunbrella or any other outdoor fabric would be fine.
> Naugahyde vinyl welting (64')
> YKK #5 plastic zippers (package of 5 pulls and 15' of continuous chain) Super Grip Nonslip Cushion Underlining Black (2 yards @ 54"). This perforated sticky rubberized material is on the underside of the cushions and prevents them from sliding off the seats when heeling.
>
> As a rule of thumb, you need to allow an extra 3" for each seam and don't forget to add the side panels to your calculations.
>
> Materials cost for two cushions was about $500 and my shop charged me about $100 each for the labor so the total was about $350 for each cushion. If you go this route, make sure your shop understands that these cushions are not rectangular--one end needs to be narrower than the other and that they need to be mirror images. My shop got it wrong the first time even though I gave them the old one to match!

> I had a stupid attack after a cruise. The cockpit cushions were scrubbed and placed on my roof rack to dry when I got home. I unexpectedly needed to disconnect and use my boat hauler the next morning. Yup, no coffee and now no cushions. I found one in a ditch. I?ve even checked all the dumpsters on my route.
> I know Stan is unreachable durning Annapolis and am unsure if he?s doing much anyway. If anybody talks to him, can he sell me a new set? They are very nice for full days without autopilot, and to hide my iPad navigation from the heat of the sun.
> If not, does anybody have ideas for ordering custom? I lack the stern one for a template.
