[C320-list] Cockpit Cushions

[Mike Paris]

I also ordered them from sailboatowner.com and I'm happy with them. I think 
it would be fairly simple to order a split port cushion. They sent me a 
sheet of plastic for me to trace the bench dimensions onto. I suppose you 
could just draw the port side as two pieces. They came with easy to install 
snaps. I ordered mine white with grey piping but if I had to do it again I 
would probably would go with a tan or grey color because they are showing a 
few slight stains. I've had them two years.
