In Response To: Strip: Cockpit Question (Martin)

: Hi,
: Last summer I finished an Outer Island. The boat is great.I built it with the
: ocean cockpit but I think I'd like to change it over to the keyhole
: cockpit. Does anyone have words of wisdom for this concerning the size of
: opening.(or any other pointers) My current plan is to just by a spray
: skirt that fits the Impex production Outer Island and "eyeball"
: the dimensions.I don't have any template for the opening so I'm a little
: nervous about the operation.

I build 16 x 33 cockpits to get my long legs in. I am 6-2 and like 4 inches clear behind my back.
