And the cooler is ... where?I have one of these: Bosuns Chair – SWI-TEC AMERICA . It is comfortable to sit on for hours of work, strong fabric and excellent workmanship, 4 sewn-on bags for power tools, rigging tools, nuts and bolts, etc., sewn-in stainless steel shackle, fittings to hold a drill, compact storage bag included AND according to Swi-Tec is safe even if unconscious.

Truth.and a bit of caution
In the cockpit full of cold beer, waiting for the job to get done.And the cooler is ... where?
My wife is terrified of heights, but for practical reasons she is the designated crewmember that will be hoisted to affect repairs up the mast. The bottom line was we needed a chair that would give her the confidence to be raised up the mast past heights (as in 10') that she would normally be comfortable with or her feet were not going to leave the deck. After much research, including information from a Practical Sailor test article, I knew the one that I would love to have but oh my it was pricey. Patience paid off and I lucked in and came across "The" chair in a new/used/consignment marine store in Poulsbo, WA. I emailed Brion Toss (RIP) to ensure that this very lightly used, but half the price of new was actually one of his. He confirmed that it was the Cruiser's model and invited us to stop into his shop on our return North. We did that and the first question he asked was who is going aloft? For more than an hour he trained my wife, not me but my wife, on the fitting and proper use of the chair. All questions that I had were directed back to my wife to ensure that she understood the answer. My wife came out of that session very happy and now regularly ascends the mast, even to the top of the 51' 11", with confidence and not fear.Time to look for one
