You seen the listing?
It was the "Swiss Army Knife" that caught my eye.No; I have no idea what the actual boat is, but is seems to have the look that a lot of the Dutch vessels have; somewhat soft curves, especially the settee, and exquisite workmanship.
I do like the Swiss Army Knife helm chair!

But you were.Ha - wasn't even close! Nice boat though.
But you were.
Very close.
And a good eye to boot.
It's in the Netherlands and was probably a custom order as I don't see any other OAs looking like that.
Or dropping straight to the floor.AusCan said:I can imagine that lock-pin shearing off in rough seas and the Captain doing a swing around and slamming into the desk.
As a helm chair I certainly wouldn't want to sit in it for very long... Looks extremely uncomfortable especially with no armrest, not to mention the level of where the back rest would hit you on your back. I'll stick with a Llebroc or Stidd helm chair.
That was my point about trawler helms. So many have built in, fixed seats or benches with zero adjustment.O C Diver said:I like to be able to adjust the position of how close the chair is to the wheel if I'm continuously steering.
Agreed. My back hurts just looking at it. No support. But it does give you easy access to the side deck door and does double duty. If this is a F/B boat then you don't spend hours at sea (typically) at the lower helm so it would work well.As a helm chair I certainly wouldn't want to sit in it for very long...
