[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes 22 Cockpit cushion dimensions

[Mary Lou Troy]

Thanks Elle,
I thought that might be what it is. Great stuff! We do store our 
cushions in the cabin when we're away from the boat but otherwise 
they've had a lot of hard use and a lot of food and beverages spilled 
on them. They still look great (if you don't look too closely at the 
piping), dry (and drain) quickly and are very comfortable!

We were at the Annapolis Sailrite store over the weekend and I didn't 
even think to look. Not a high priority this season.
