: ....... a good point about being able to have one leg in and one leg out
: and then bring the outer leg inside. I tried that and could not do it. The
: forward part of the cutout was too close. Now I didn't exactly give it the
: "old college try" either so maybe I better do some
: experimenting. ..........this is a pretty small cockpit 40.4
: cm wide x 55.3 cm long (16" x 21 3/4").

My cockpit measures 30 1/2" long, and I can't do a butt-first entry. I can't imagine being able to do it with a 22" long opening, unless you have slinkys for legs. But then again, I'm 6'5".
