where are your legs? up by splash rail?I call my relaxing style of Sunfish sailing, "recumbent"...after the bicycle designed to pedal with your legs extended. "Indian-style" won't make my knees work ever-again! For recreational sailors, it's great in light winds—and like having a chaise lounge chair with a view that's always changing.
As a back support, I have used one of thick garden (kneeling) mats, but without some kind of support, they tend to move around. I thought about gluing one to the cockpit edge with contact cement, but it would still be subject to being knocked off or damaged. This season, I may make a curved piece of ¼" plywood, and glue the mat to it.
Anyway, a vest is all you need: you don't have to put it on.
Yup. At six-feet tall, my ankles are often crossed at the splash rail.where are your legs? up by splash rail?
thanks, thats good stuffIn this picture, I've unfolded my Kent life preserver, added a thin mat to the cockpit (with a rubberized bottom), and this serves me well.
Next, I'd suggest laying out some rubber mat where you'd normally sit—pressed against the forward bulkhead— to keep any comfort-cushions in place.
