Time to update the Cockpit with comfortable Vinyl that is easy to clean, mildew and UV resistant, etc.
Looked through some locals Sailboat Owners and Catalina Direct and wondering if there are any other vendors providing these type cushions
Questions: What Foam Thickness and does the foam need to be "Closed Cell?"
Assume an accent color welt is also advisable
A source other than the above described would be helpful.................
Thanks

Great question!! Suggest 2" closed-cell foam covered with Sunsure, a woven fabric made with PVC-coated yarn. The cushions float, dry quickly, won't absorb water, and are resistant to mildew, rot, and UV rays. closed cell foam, vinyl mesh fabirc. They last for years. You can buy them here Cockpit Cushions, Sunsure Fabric (sailboatowners.com). That is where I always purchase for my sailboats in white with blue trim as shown below.
