Hi Guys & girls, first of all thanks landyacht for your helpful response to my wheel subject, i am still in pursuit of them but i am now after a seat or mould, i know i could build one but i am rather time poor but the price of a seat may eventually prompt me to build one. I have heard mar marine in WA have a mould but i cant seem to catch them on the phone & to date they havnt called me back. Any ideas.

Kind Regards Ferg

does the no replies mean there are no seats or builders in aus & you have to build your own.

Cheers Ferg

It seems as though seat moulds are a bit rare, I have heard that there was one in the Adelaide area but is no longer accessible. I would bet buying some plywood and making your own is the easiest route (ie: stitch n glue style). Do you have experience with fibreglassing?

molds for seats are rare in australai. I have one for a class 5 but wouldnt dream of lending it out. my mini mold suffered significant damge when lent to a pr.
. proffesional fibreglasser. my 5 mold is rather sit up,like a club 88. I have made some for sale, if you want to contact me.
the last few seats Ive built have been pods. 1 came from a mold but I then chopped it up to alter and improve.
I find its cheaper and easier to build a ply and glass stitch(cable tie) and glue seat , as i inevitably cut it up.

seats can be very easily built ,by simply drawing with chalk on a shed floor. If I recall you have 2500x1000mm to play with and the yacht with seat can max out to 3500mm.
can you put up some pics of what youve built or plan to build, or better some mdrawingswith measurements so we can help. Im assuming your not for profit
