Saloon Furniture

When we first ordered furniture for the saloon we used a 'Captains Chair' from our previous boat and ordered a new 'Boatman's Chair Bed' from  Elite Furnishings,

Captains chair on Notos.

The problem with two separate chairs is that one of the chairs is positioned very close to the stove (see picture below) and has to be moved when the stove is used. With the 'Captains Chair' it is very difficult to place the chairs side by side.

The two chairs in their 'summer' position.

Ordering a second chair means that in the winter we can, by removing an arm from each chair, use them as a two seater settee.

The two chairs side by side facing the stove.

 The different/alternating patterns on the two chairs is a deliberate decision.

As well as ordering the new chair we also ordered two footstools, which apart from providing some extra storage space also means that we can convert the two chairs into either two singe beds or a double bed, albeit a very small one.
