new steering seat /helm seat

[john2]

hello , just to keep of the topic from #23 here a new topic

this winter i made this. A seat for while motoring of even sailing.
The idea was : easy to remove /place , same height as standing and last : folding down if i want out of the way.

It hooks in the swim ladder , when seat is up the cushion locks the whole seat.
and with the seat down you can slide it out of the ladder. No tools required.
The seat is a standard boot folding seat.

Well Done John! I had been brainstorming this same idea because we took that "helm" seat off our boat as well and thought about making a seat/padded leaning post that would fold down just like that. Now I have a real life example to work off of for my boat, so thanks for sharing!
