We have a 1985 Baba-30 with a tiller. We're liveaboards and preparing for
long-term cruising, mostly tropical, and are now outfitting the cockpit.
We'll be doing some longer passages, perhaps including the south Pacific.
We are looking at three options for cushions:
1. Custom from the canvasmaker who did our bimini
2. Bottomsiders - their pattern is in 4 cushions, companionway, port,
starboard, and C-end, $824
3. C Cushions - their pattern is in 3 cusions, companionway, port and
startboard both all the way around the end, $906
We want durability (want them to last several years at least), all-weather
(want them to be able to withstand soakings), comfort (want to be able to
sleep on them some of the time), stay-in-place (want to be able to leave
them in underway without worrying about blowing away in most conditions),
and of course cost $$. We also want to be able to get into both lazarettes
(P and S), so C Cushions appear to be harder to use.

Any experience or opinions would be appreciated. Bottomsiders and C Cushion=
s
appear to have an almost identical product, so any help in differences
between them would help too. Did anyone get them to customize at all? Also,
why does a Baba-30 have more square feet in their patterns than many other
larger cockpits?
