Fitting seats to Sib

Post by Notebook64 » 01 Aug 2022, 21:20

Hi
Anyone fitted seats to a sib.
I find the standard padded board uncomfortable. It’s a little low too for my leg length if that makes sense. I
Same for sitting on the tubes.
Been looking for an alternative type of seat. It’s an air floor.
Any ideas appreciated.

@Sibfisher of this parish fabricated a pretty neat swivel seat installation on his Elling.
