Technical Specifications

Designed for Mast Maintenance and Rigging Work

The Lalizas Professional Bosun’s Chair is a practical accessory for a variety of sailing boat maintenance tasks, including:

• Mast inspections

• Rigging maintenance

• Checking and servicing masthead fittings

• Inspecting navigation lights and antennas

• General maintenance work aloft

Its supportive seating design helps improve comfort, while the integrated tool pockets allow frequently used equipment to remain close at hand.

Practical Tool Storage

One of the chair’s useful features is its integrated storage system.

The supplied storage bag serves two purposes: it keeps the chair compact when not in use and becomes an additional tool pouch when the chair is deployed.

An attached side tool case provides further storage for small tools and maintenance accessories.

Optional Wooden Seat

The chair includes a dedicated pocket designed to accommodate an optional wooden seat insert.

This accessory can provide a firmer seating surface when working aloft for extended periods.

Wooden seat insert sold separately.
