: Yikes, those seats cost a fortune - even the raw mesh fabric is expensive -
: still there's some good ideas for design there. I'm still focusing on
: kayak style seating as I think the high back on a recumbent seat would
: inhibit torso rotation. Who knows, I could see sawing up a used fiberglass

Darn it, here I thought I was ready to start building and now the seat issue comes up . I'm planning on foot wells in the individual hulls, with an above waterline drain. But now I'm rethinking the seat. I guess a glass bucket of some sort is in order, though for the prototype a hung fabric seat would be alot less screwing around. I used to make folding chairs that used nylon bag cloth (9 oz. non-coated nylon) that was very comfy, think I've still got some around here somewhere.
