Aloha c-boaters,
I'm now on the hunt for a C-1 saddle/seat. i know dagger used to make some. On Playak there is a guy who makes them, but he charges as much as some boats themselves for a saddle/seat.
Any links or anything would be greatly appreciated, thanks a bunch guys.

I don't hink any are currently in mass production - best bet would be to find an old boat to pull one from or... check all the methods in the outfitting area on this site. The "fence rail" (though I use Vinyl downspout - it's smaller) and the "etc" plate are pretty common.

Gedday mate,
Have a look at my blog as the backbone is very simple to make and very cheap. In Australian dollars it cost $20.00 for material for the backbone, if you get someone to weld it for you about $20.00.
It is strong and light with minimal flexibility.

You can do almost anything with thin aluminium as it is so light and very strong.
cheers

OUTFITTING
Backbone whats that. Oh yeah , guys that were raised by their maternal grand mother don,t have one. I always just lay up a minicell pedistal . Use to use thigh straps but have been useing a bulkhead system for a while. I had fitted out an old Caper T with straps in the front and bulkhead in the rear. If i waited for the bow paddler to exit the outfitting first i could roll it from the back. HEHEHEHE. JIM
A piece of a broken paddle shaft is great: it's light, strong and easy to obtain. Just ask a double blader who has snapped his/her paddle for the leftovers. Chances are you'll get it for freeSkip On Ocoee wrote:ahhhh yes of course, haha. but what are some suggestions for a backbone? i'm looking for something lightweight and easy to come by. any suggestions?
