I would appreciate any ideas, thoughts, advice or suggestions on fixing free standing helm seats firmly to deck.
During recent rough weather our freestanding helm chairs became ballistic missiles. So much so that SHMBO has refused to sail again until they are firmly fixed to the deck
Our helm is above our cabin. The deck is teak on steel (she's a steel boat). Would it be acceptable to drill through, say three of the arms and fix through the teak to the steel deck or would it be sufficient to fix to the teak deck alone?
Are 'sliders' available for helm chairs? Could they be fitted on a DIY basis?
Thanks in advance

Any advice would be gratefully received
