Dan,

The boat is Contessa 32. The coach roof is pretty much taken up by the main and genoa halyard winches. While there is room on the cockpit coamings for the secondaries, the space becomes progressively narrower as you move aft so there's not much room to choose from. I couldn't find a good picture of the cockpit of my boat, but here's a shot of another Co32 where you can see the winches: http://www.jeremyrogers.co.uk/imageu...007%20copy.jpg

As you can see, a svelte butt can just about squeeze between the two winches. Mine would be a tight fit.
