  This sliding seat idea has always sounded interesting to me, but, never
having seen one, I have a little trouble picturing how they work in
conjunction with a spray skirt - or is the total travel distance fore/aft
small enough that the "normal" amount of slack in a "normal" skirt can
adjust to the different seat placements?
