Our boat doesn't really have space for a permanently mounted Admiral's chair at the main helm (without losing dinette/table space.)
During our survey, our PO mentioned to me that if I get the boat, I should make sure to get a folding captain's chair for her - that's what he had for his Admiral.
When we took delivery, we found that he'd put their chair on the boat for us!
And the Admiral
, she likes it! (When she's not in the helm seat...)
It's a folding tall captain's or director's chair, and has a little foot rest to it, I think probably this one...

Here's a photo of it stowed next to the stairs down into the aft cabin:

The admiral has been asking for an upper helm chair next to mine for several years. I finally figured out a way to do it. I will be finishing it this weekend. Its not perfect, but it is decent and reversable if ever necessary.

Agreed, if I were spec'ing a new one I would go for teak with captain's navy sunbrella to match our canvas. I may be re-canvasing this chair this spring as a prelude/practice to starting on projects to protect rail varnish. In the case of our boat and salon layout, the fold up is a must.
Yeah, the pic was actually from our delivery "weekend" last Sept. We knew the existing house bank batts needed replacing and brought a new set with us, in case we needed them during the weekend. Turns out we did, so day 2 of our ownership was fitting and wiring the first 4 GC-2s.
