Thanks Uncle Boo. That looks like a great place to get a windshield, but I can't find where it lists the schematics and measurements, though the home page says they are there somewhere. Guess I'll have to email them unless someone here can give me the height measurement.

The aluminum 'thingy' is the retainer for the backrest cushion. The cushion would have come with a barrell-shaped piece of plastic stitched into the top edge and it just slides in to hold the cushion in place.

That makes sense. We don't have anything as posh as cushions on our sailboats - the Shields only have a teak slat bench. But we might have to get some cushions for this Seacraft if that is how they were stock. All that was long gone on ours by the time we got her.
Oh, Gilly, I thought of you today as I was watching a group of Thistles practice for the upcoming Midwinter's Regatta. My mistake, I was thinking of Bulls Eyes for some reason when you said you liked Thistles, probably because Bulls Eyes are another of those very classic sailboats like the Shields. We do have many Thistles here in So Cal, just no Bull Eyes that I've ever seen.
