[Public-List] Hiking seat

[Gordon Laco]

I like to perch on the coaming while sailing.  I have been thinking of
making an improvement that might go something like this...

I am thinking of removing the primary and secondary winches from the molded
winch pads.  I'll then make a mahogany plank shaped so that it follows the
top flat profile of the winch pads, and has a connecting piece about 2"
wide.  I'll fit that to the winch pads and glue it to the coaming - the
result being that I'll have a narrow flat to sit on between the winches, and
the winches themselves will be re-bolted on top of the new wood.

I think it'll look nice, and make it a little nicer to perch on the coaming.

I've been thinking about this for quite some time.  Maybe I'll do it next
spring.
