THE FEEL / THE FIT / THE FINISH
Made for life on the water.
Renew the seating that brings your crew together.
Identify jockey seats, bolsters and removable cushions separately. Review the existing bases, foam and fastening details alongside the new upholstery.
Explore fabric, piping & thread ↗A CLOSER LOOK / PERSONALLY CONSIDERED
A connected finish.
Colour is only the beginning. Compare the material in the light of your space, then consider the cushion profile and the finish at its edges.
- Material. Confirm the precise collection and feel using physical samples.
- Construction. Agree the pattern, cushion depth and fastening details.
- Finish. Bring piping, seams and border stitching into one direction.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SCOPE
Keep what works.
Consider what changes.
A USEFUL FIRST CONVERSATION
Bring these details.
- Number each jockey seat, bolster and bench section
- Photograph bases, fastening points and worn areas
- Confirm whether the boat or removable pieces are available for assessment
YOUR SPECIFICATION / PRACTICAL ANSWERS
A clearer starting point.
Can you coordinate jockey seats and the rear bench?
Share the whole layout, even if only some pieces need replacement. The material, piping and seam direction can be considered as a connected scheme.
Do I need to remove every seat first?
Start with photographs. The assessment and pattern method are agreed before removal; include any seats fixed to the boat.
01 / YOUR PROJECT
Identify the different assemblies.
Number jockey seats, bolsters, backrests and bench sections separately. Photograph each complete assembly, its underside and any accessible fastening details. Share the boat layout as well as close-ups of damage.
Tell Josh whether the pieces are loose, bolted or bonded to retained components. Agree responsibility for removal and refitting before separating them.
02 / YOUR PROJECT
Coordinate the visible finish.
A material and piping palette can connect seats of different shapes. Compare physical samples with retained tubes, deck and console finishes. Confirm the exact material collection and the area where it will be used.
Plain upholstery, essential seams and neat piping can give a calm finish. Decorative stitching is an optional specification to discuss for actual work; generated design inspiration is shown with plain seating.
03 / YOUR PROJECT
Include comfort and the return plan.
Discuss support that has collapsed, altered profiles and worn bases alongside the cover. A full set need not have identical filling requirements, so review each position.
Confirm patterns, approvals, packing and return fitting around the boat’s availability. Keep a photographic record of every original position.
PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Before we begin.
Can I renew only part of the RIB seating?
Describe the complete layout and the pieces that need work. Consider how new material will sit alongside the retained upholstery.
Can the piping match the tubes?
A coordinated direction can be discussed using physical samples. Exact matching to aged or different materials is not guaranteed.
