We have owned several sail boats and all had combing that you could sit on and hike out. We have a new Mark II 22 on order and it does not appear it is designed to sail out of the cockpit. The winches, cleats and high cockpit ridge looks uncomfortable. Will we need a hiking stick or will we be sitting inside the cockpit. Thanks Rik & Konnie

Tiller extension

I have a mkII and added a telescopic tiller extension (extends to ~3 feet). This allows me to sit forward in the cockpit, but there really is no comfortable way to sail out of the cockpit.

Sailing Out of Cockpit

Mike That was my impression with the high combing around the cockpit - the 22 looks like it was designed to sail dry. Rik
