I went out yesterday and had some nice wind- probably 10 knots. I was heeled over about as far as I cared to be (not quite to the rubrail), but I found myself sliding on the seat (it’s just the painted surface right now). Of course I can brace myself with my feet on the opposite footwell edge, but I think it would be good to have something ‘stickier’ and also more comfortable. The obvious solution would be to have cushions but wouldn’t they just slide around too unless they are fastened down somehow. Anyway I’m wondering about using SeaDek. I have the CLC kit on the footwell, cabin top, and bow area and like it. I also have the kit on my Passagemaker and I sit on that and find it reasonably comfortable. SeaDek makes a 6mm sheet (CLC kits are 5). Certainly not as cushy as a real cushion, but very stable and low maintenance. And you don’t have to stow it or worry about keeping it clean and dry. Has anyone tried this or have an opinion on it? Or what’s the experience with regular cushions? Or are there other ideas?
They are having a 25% off sale now, so I’m motivated to try it. I guess I could always add a thin cushion on top of that and it probably would not slide as easily.
