- Our commitment to a durable and strong product involves using a glass fiber-reinforced plastic. This material, while enhancing strength, may result in slight cosmetic variations, such as subtle shadowing on the product's surface during manufacturing.

- The winch hole size can vary slightly between different manufacturers. Our bracket is dimensioned to accommodate this variation, so in some cases, the seat may wobble slightly when mounted. However, once you sit on the seat, it stabilizes significantly.

We bought our Seawind 1370 cat and had handover in December 2024. This is a beautiful boat, but the only small issue was the helm position, all under roof! This made Tides Vinch Seats sure to help out the situation.
From the moment we approached Tides Vinch Seats, their dedication to customer satisfaction was evident. They provided us with several options to enhance our helm experience, ensuring both comfort and practicality. Their team was incredibly knowledgeable and offered personalized solutions that perfectly met our needs.
The Tides Vinch Seats are very easy to fold, pick up, and store, allowing us to adapt our setup as needed. When not sailing, these seats serve as excellent extra seating options. They are remarkably stable as soon as you sit on them, providing both comfort and security.
In summary, Tides Vinch Seats exceeded our expectations. Their innovative approach and impeccable service transformed our Seawind 1370, making it even more enjoyable to sail. We highly recommend Tides Vinch Seats to anyone looking to enhance their boating experience.
Thanks to Mathias and the team for both folloing up, and a great product.

I started using this product for the first time this year and I can say it has been a big hit with the crew and guests. I hadn't appreciated that on a smaller to a mid size yacht how you get accustomed to sitting in compromised, uncomfortable positions often without a back rest. That was until we started using this winch seat. The other noticeable hightened experience this seat gives you is that you sit higher than you would do normally giving you a much better view and perspective. We haven't used it much while sailing but while motoring, at anchor and on the dock there is a fight for it! Top product.

Really clever product

It’s become a favorite onboard! Our kids especially love it—it’s a fun addition whether we’re sailing or relaxing at the marina.
