Helm Seat

Here’s an aft cockpit seat that does not require drilling any holes into the boat. I made mine from a scrap of clear Douglas fir stair tread that is about 1 1/8 inch thick. I routed out a drip edge on the bottom to keep any water from flowing along the bottom surface. Then after 4 coats of varnish I applied a piece of Treadmaster to the seat area. The seat is held in place by the rail supports and a couple of plastic clamps that I made from scrap that I got from a sign shop.
