I no longer find the "sofa" style of interior furnishing on a boat to be comfortable.
The seats on my boat were obviously designed primarily as a sleeping bunk and don't make it for comfortable lounging and reading. I need a basic model with padded armrests but without the bells and whistles of reclining back, pop-out footrests, built in stereo speakers, holders for beer and the remote etc which is common on house stuff.
I remember Sir Francis Chichister had a gymballed chair aboard Gipsy Moth, and I think it was Dr David Lewis who adapted a Martin-Baker ejector seat on his Catamaran. Many Mobos have really comfortable seating for lounging and reading.
Has anyone modified their seating on a yacht to include a custom built armchair? Did you have to cut the cushions. How do you keep SWMBO out of it?
