If you have ever tried to ride your boat in rough water for an extended period of time, you can appreciate the quality of a good helm chair. The Back Cove 37 is going to have two Stidd 500N series seats at her helm and I'll explain that decision.
First of all, the Stidd decision was easy. Yes they are very expensive but the experience of driving a boat in big water for hours on end will prove to anyone that a good seat makes all the difference and that Stidd makes the best helm chairs in the marine marketplace. No fatigue, no distractions and no navigational errors brought on by discomfort. But why two seats and not a double bench seat?
The simple answer is that the port or inside seat can be rotated to face the seating area in the salon and thus becomes part of the social seating of the Back Cove 37. Furthermore in rough seas the arm rests of each seat hold your body firmly in place and do not allow you to slide around on the seating surface, again reducing driver fatigue.
