Seats for the Pilot

Post by **zinbaad** » Thu May 21, 2009 10:03 am

I find the pilot seat to be the most uncomfortable thing on the Albin. With the low back & me having a bit of a back problem something with a higher back might be a solution. Any one know vendors that have a bit higher end than these plastic molded types without paying an arm and a leg, lol???

Ed, Do you have helm seats like this?

No, i have a molded plastic with vinal inserts, seems to be a lower back. Yours seems a bit higher with nice armrests.. Actually maybe I am watching "Worlds Deadliest Catch" a bit too much, lol, Thoses cushiony, spring loaded seats look real comfy (and real pricey I am sure) So far I put on 60 hours since March

I had mine made up at Bristol Cushion

They used to make them for Albin. The manager of the shop there was named Oscar. Talk to him. They shipped them straight to Long Island for me. The seats are in their second season now, no problems. Looks like the pic Rob posted.

I've been to the office at Bristol Cushion and they have beautiful samples of custom helm chairs there. They are beautifully made. The best part is they were the official upholsterer for Albin 28,31, and 35's so they can match style and fabric exactly if you wish.
