SCROLL THROUGH YOUR NEW DIRECTION Skip the journey ↓
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
Show the seat in every position.
Bolster seating and leaning posts can have shaped or moving parts that are not described by a simple cushion outline. Photograph the seat in its normal positions, including the underside and accessible fixings. Identify which pads lift out and which remain attached to the assembly.
Tell Josh what needs attention: split covers, worn edges, tired padding or a finish that no longer belongs with the surrounding seating. Include handles, openings and retained hardware in the photographs. The upholstery scope should be agreed separately from any mechanical or structural work.
02 / YOUR PROJECT
Assess the profile and padding.
A re-cover can renew the appearance while retaining an appropriate existing profile. If the foam no longer holds its shape, discuss the padding and cover together. Share how the position is used and which areas feel uncomfortable, so the assessment begins with the whole seat rather than a material name.
Do not assume upholstery changes provide a certified shock-mitigation or safety upgrade. This service concerns the cover and padding specification agreed for the piece. Any structural, mechanical or safety requirement needs to be identified separately with the relevant specialist.
03 / YOUR PROJECT
Coordinate the seat with the RIB.
Compare the main material with jockey seats, console pads and other retained upholstery. Piping and border details can connect the finish while keeping the shaped parts clear. Confirm the precise fabric, colour and construction against physical samples before manufacture.
Agree responsibility for dismantling and removal before sending the assembly. For suitable removable pads, collection and workshop assessment can be discussed. Number the pieces, retain an inventory of fittings and confirm where the finished upholstery will be checked and installed.
PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Before we begin.
Can only the bolster pad be recovered?
Possibly, depending on condition, removal access and construction. Send photographs of the complete seat and the separate pad.
Can you repair the seat mechanism?
This enquiry concerns upholstery. Identify any mechanical or structural problem separately so the correct specialist and responsibilities can be agreed.
Will the refurbishment improve shock protection?
No shock-protection or safety certification is promised. Discuss comfort and padding as part of the upholstery specification.
THE NEXT USEFUL STEP
Bring the brief together.
Send your photographs and plans ↗MAKE YOUR FIRST ENQUIRY COUNT
Plan the seating in use
Photograph bolsters in each normal position, with adjoining panels and accessible attachments. Explain worn areas and changes to comfort. Moving sections, retained supports and the way the upholstered parts meet belong in the pattern brief.
Physical samples, pattern approval, collection costs and the production programme are agreed for your pieces.
