    Default PD Racer Rowing Seat

    I have been chatting with AlexN about making a rowing seat for the PDR.

    To start things off, here is my first idea for a rowing seat for a PDR.

    It will sit on the centerboard case and have two tabs on it. One will hook over the front of the front frame and the other will be a stub that will fit into the centerboard slot. It should sit on the sole in front of the front frame or maybe under the deck if it is small enough.

    I made the model in Google Sketchup which I should have done before I built my PDR.

    It would have saved me many errors had I been more thorough in my inspection of the plans before I started working in wood.

    I would leave the back of the seat more square than that so you can sit more towards the back.

    But that's the right concept.
