High speed craft seats (HSC)
Selecting the correct seat for sailing at high speed is critical. There is a much greater awareness of spinal and other injuries developing because of a poorly designed seat, and/or an inadequate suspension unit. In addition to this being a concern for the skipper, employers must also consider loss of working hours due to injury and in the longer term, their own responsibility to provide a satisfactory working environment for crew.
New legislation, concerning spinal support through a drop test, is widely anticipated. This will prevent employers from accepting sub-standard marine seats that does not meet the criteria. Crown Marine Seats has constantly sought to remain well informed and updated on any new legislation and guidelines.
RECARO MARITIME SEATS
The Recaro suspension unit is arguably the very best air suspension unit on the market. It has been developed specifically for the marine market and tested in the most demanding of environments, by the Norwegian RNLI. With the Recaro Northsea seat, the suspension unit is approved in accordance with the International Code of Safety for High Speed Craft (HSC code). Certification was awarded through Bureau Veritas. The Recaro suspension unit has also been subjected to a series of drop tests at 3G, 4G and 6G. Adopting conditions defined in ISO/WD 19470.13, shock reduction was recorded at more than 24% during 6G testing.
Any of the bucket style seats from Recaro would make an ideal combination for high speed vessels, mounted on the universal Recaro suspension unit. The best-selling model is the Recaro Northsea, available with lumbar support and a front extension piece for additional comfort and support. Alternatives are the Recaro Offshore and the competitively priced Recaro Solent.
Where weight is a crucial factor, the Recaro Pole Position offers the best solution with a seat weighing just 12.5Kgs without armrests.
