Boat Seats. Custom seating in a Maine built Downeast boat. The seats are made from white oak. Besides the clean, nautical lines, storage was incorporated in every aspect of each seat. Under the captain's seat there is a removable foot rest where extra cables, zip ties and such are stored. The air handler for the heat and air conditioning is located in the captain's seat also.
Think in terms of a boat. Many boats are made using fiberglass, which begins as a textileâlike a long piece of fabric that comes on a roll. Fiberglass is laid into a mold that will create the boat's hull. A resin, in liquid form, is catalyzed and applied to the fiberglass in-mold. It will cure and bond to the fiberglass chemically, producing a great deal of heat (called thermosetting). Multiple layers and various techniques are involved, but your end result is the boat.
