Selecting
the right bosun's chair for work aloft generally depends on
the type of work that needs to be performed and the amount of
time aloft. So the well used phrase "form follows function"
rings true when selecting a bosun's chair.
For the sailor who is aloft for short periods of time Hathaway's
offers a climbing style harness co-designed by Spinlock and
Petzl. This lightweight harness is appropriate for tasks such
as going to the end of the spin pole for peels, spikes and going
aloft for quick fixes.
For
the sailor who is aloft for longer periods of time we offer
a chair designed for comfort and ease of movement. Designed
and used by Hathaway's rigging manager, the chair is constructed
out of heavily reinforced flexible dacron designed to securely
fit around the upper thigh area of each leg. A retaining belt
around the torso in addition to a safety tether with clip is
also incorporated into the design. Velcro pockets on either
side of the chair are great for holding pliers, rigging tape,
knife, cotter/clevis pins etc. For good reason this is our most
popular chair.
