I gather Colvin hates the idea of getting pooped in a Jacuzzi-sized
cockpit. Well, who can blame him?

Fitted cushion salesmen, for starters.

I remember being pooped in a Hinckley B40 in what I considered to be
marginal seas, such as 1 to 3 feet, with an occasional 4 footer rolling in
due to weather or heavy traffic. Would never have happen on my boat, which
had a somewhat higher freeboard than the Hinckley.
