: Got to spend a couple of hours in Wren today. I am amazed my first design
: behaves so well. Not much wind, but a few gusts and just no signs of
: weather cocking at all.
: Question. Anyone ever enlarge an existing cockpit? I am not going to rush
: into this but I finding the OC difficult to get in and out of. I don't
: think cutting it out larger around the existing one should be a problem.
: Just have to be careful and go slow.
: I know I will get better in time but I dumped the boat twice getting in. That
: at the bank! Rather embarrassing. Also to my surprise I am finding the
: width a snug fit and I am not big hipped by any means. Plus I could use a
: couple more inches of length for my legs when entering. I am really like
: the deck up close. Thats my favorite part. I am just wondering if an
: UP-sized OC wouldn't be more comfortable.
: I won't do anything any time soon, just curious if any has done this. I want
: to give this a fair shot first.
What are the dimmensions of the cockpit?
I've got two OC's and any more I make will be round like the NDK Greenlander, I like the tight fit of the OC but the extra width of the round cockpit is nice. Without measuring it I think it's a 17 1/2" circle.
