28 fb bench seat

Post by Yannis »

This was put in place today; it's my idea of a flybridge bench.
The cushion is made with a thicker forward part so as to better accommodate my 100 kilos and the twice as many of the overall 3 people who can, relatively comfortably, squeeze up there.
I didn't have time to do the backrest too, it shows worse in the pics than it actually is. Just to keep me busy for next season.
The support is a 22 mm ply, "kitchen sponge" painted with teak oil only, surrounded (on the 3 sides-not fwd) by a teak finish - 6 (untrimmed yet) screws secure it on the stock frame that had to be argon pinched so as to become more stable.
The cushion fastens on the ply surface with 3 "ears" that pass behind the teak finish for better ...optical satisfaction.
It is a copy/paste bench of my rear bench, that I had made last year.

Looks like you did a pretty nice job. That is a nice looking bench seat.
