A wood sliding seat
For years, our sliding seat has been one of our most popular boat options. The “sliding” seat name is a bit of a misnomer since it is actually built with smooth-gliding rollers. It has a sturdy set of pins to hold the seat in place when needed. The individual sliding seat can also be removed completely when cargo room is most important. It has been so successful that we have even supplied the rowing seats for several open-ocean rowing teams.
Dual Sliding Seats (available in the 17′ Melonseed)
Customer demand led us to develop a dual sliding seat option for the Melonseed. It suits people who enjoy full-body rowing exercise with a partner who really would like to speed along.
A second sliding seat allows two people to row in tandem in sliding seat mode. One person can get a fully loaded boat up to hull speed, but two people can keep it there all day with the sliding seats.
Without the second sliding seat, you must row tandem in fixed seat mode so that the rear rower doesn’t foul the person in front as the natural stroke rate with the sliding seat is a slower and longer stroke.
