Re: Stus-List Anyone remove the helm seat?
my solution was to buy one of those folding wheels; I love it and have kept it through three different boats...it solves all of the issues mentioned in previous emails, and you don't have to take it off and store it... I love the looks I get from the power boaters when I start unfolding it...they go Wh? Richard 1985 C&C 37 CB; Ohio River Mile 584; Richard N.

Re: Stus-List Anyone remove the helm seat?
All, Whoever had Gabriela before me made the seat easy to remove with a couple of pins (4)… just pop them out and the seat is removed and stored in the port-aft locker. When at the dock it’s in with a cushion on it…when off the dock for an extended period we leave it on so there is extra sitting room in the cockpit. When just a short sail we take it off to have more room.

Re: Stus-List Anyone remove the helm seat?
On my 29 mark1: 1. Removed seat. 2. Redesigned pushpit curved down with swim access walk through, no gate. 3. Platform extending into and out of boat large enough width room and fore/aft length to fit the WM mega blue boat seat. This raised me up enough to see and sit in secured comfort when heeled. Swim ladder folds up providing secure restraint and backing for the seat with short strops to pushpit on wash side of ladder 4. BIG wheel so that I can sail from the rail. Smaller when lashed to Bimini frame as an option on trips. Both wheels lashed to Bimini for Marina and swimming. I also redid the engine panel by necessity. This one also has a bank of breakers for Nav lights, instruments, instrument lights, etc etc. Don Viking 34 C&C 29 for sail on aluminum trailer > On Jul 23, 2014, at 12:00 PM, Tim Goodyear via CnC-List > wrote: > > Joel, I've been thinking of doing this - let me know how you get on.

Re: Stus-List Anyone remove the helm seat?
Joel: I did it last year on my 38MKIIC.much more room, the cockpit can accommodate it and I like to sail from the lower leeward side to see telltales………..I find it much more agreeable Ron C.
