Ah the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. I don't feel like I have the expertise to customize a cockpit to my fit. Just don't know what the heck I'm doing. I've made a few attempts to pad out the inside of my Vista to make it fit a little better, but didn't get far. Guess I'll have to find a way to figure it out though if I'm going to build one.

On the Piccolo, I didn't mind the lesser primary stability, although my 16 year old step-daughter tipped it twice immediately when she gave it a try. Chuckle. It was the tracking I didn't care for. I think I could probably keep it straighter now.

Again, thanks for your thoughts.

: Forgot to mention, a lot of that wonderful fit you enjoyed in the Romany is
: seperate from the hull design, it's in the seat/hips/thigh set-up. So
: whatever boat you get be willing to enjoy the fitting out process since
: that's your connection to all those handling characteristics on the wish
: list.
