The jumpseat brackets (bottom photo) make it possible to install an extra seat in a hurry. Don slips a seat with its folding support into the brackets, and one more person can fit comfortably at the cabin table.
Issue 50 : Sept/Oct 2006
When we have guests sailing with us, there never seems to be enough room around the cabin table. To add another seat quickly, I installed brackets on the side of the galley next to the cabin table. Then I made a small mahogany jumpseat with folding legs that fits into the brackets and creates another seat in seconds.

Don lives on a waterway off Barnegat Bay, on the New Jersey coast. He keeps his schooner, Delphinus, at dockside next to his home. Although Barnegat Bay and the adjacent waterways frequently freeze solid, his boat has wintered in unfrozen water for the past 21 years, protected by a water-agitation system and an electric engine-compartment heater.
