Pirate's Booty,

It would help if you would post your requests for help under a title addressing the issue, but then maybe it is not help with the sailing issues that you really want, but instead just like to try to play with the boys.
In reference to your cushions however...they are not difficult to make but harder than you make it sound...cutting foam with an Xacto knife will not yield nice clean cut smooth cushions...try an electric knife for better results. And if you use a more "plastic like fabric" they will be easier to care for but hotter and will stick to your skin and be very uncomfortable...like sitting on one of those flotation cushions.
People at this site in the past were always eager to offer help...there is a much more "cocky and opinionated" crowd here these days...doesn't make for a gracious attitude on here. I do think though that if you truly want suggestions and will post them correctly you will receive help. Being female is not an insult but expecting more because of it or using it to get your way is. Prove yourself a worthy sailor and the respect will come.
