G'Day

I'm happy to compromise and line a seat with layers of foam sheets. This can
easily and cheaply be modified from summer to winter as clothing changes,
but is only suitable for skinny folk. Had forgotten how comfortable this was
until I put my boat in for repair and started hiring commercial boats - how
anyone could sit for hours in the average commercial seat beats me. The
Klepper seat is also suprisingly uncomfortable by comparison with a foam
lined seat.- I've started taking padding along when I hire boats now.

All the best, PeterO
