He looks pretty comfortable to me

Yeah I guess he does!!! The picture must have been before the total ass numbness.

Must be the pain killer he is holding.

Not good to rely on the lifeline, if any part gives out you'll be doing a man over board drill
The guys on racing boats sit with there legs over the side and resting there back against the side of the cabin.

Less chance of getting a boom whack sitting with back against portlights and feet over rails as well. Had EE's boom take a baseball cap off my head once. Scary moment..

Looks like all were having great time there ! Good pic !

I have a good friend that liked to lean on the lifelines. It resulted in getting to practice my man overboard maneuvers and life line repair skills. Luckily it was warm weather.

Sorry I don't have better pics of the seat setup but I made this little beauty to fit over the companionway hatch sliders and as long as you are sitting on the windward side of the boat it is really comfortable. If you are on the leeward side you have way too much lean and it is too much stress on the neck.




With this extra seat you can easily get three people on the windward side in the cockpit and the forth can sit in the seat so everyone is on the high side.

EDIT: I know it looks like the seat is leaning on the lifeline, but it isn't. So no stress on the stanchions!

So where do you get a seat like that? I understand that you probably need to fabricate the mount.

You could patent that and make some serious money!

I am glad you guys like it. The seat can be found at Academy for $8
