A new seat was needed.
After I had finally made my first multi-day paddle tour with a friend, I painfully realized that the seat was not usable for me.
So I built a new one.
The new seat will be installed more to the middle of the boat so that the boat is also better trimmed at the same time.
Here are now the individual construction stages in pictures to see.

Quite nice - but too small for sitting near to the gunwale.
It was therefore necessary to widen.

And new mesh.

Now I have made a seat bench out of a seat, which hopefully works better.
