comfort coamings

[ebb]

There is no doubt that the cockpit coamings are a main feature on the A/C.

However, while the design is critical (I've thought about taller ones) they are not comfortable and provide no back support. On a windy afternoon out on the Bay we stand on our Ariel coamings when the rail is in the water.

But fun sailing is also balancing a sandwich and a drink and lounging against something. We have the cabin by the companionway to lean egainst - but essentially the coamings are too low for back support. There have been times when they have been too sharp for sitting ON and I thought that a wide cap on the coaming would have been an excellent idea.

Has anyone raised their seat back? Or rigged something clever for civilized upright sailing?

[Just as I was about to exit it flashed that hinged ply pieces under the cushion (you do have a cushion?] could be folded up for some back support.]
