Information About

Bosun's Chair




Some bosun's chairs consist of little more than a short plank and a suitable set of Ropes to suspend it from; these are usually used with a separate harness in case the user should slip off the plank. Other bosun's chairs, particularly the type commonly carried on Yachts for masthead repair, incorporate more straps so that the wearer cannot fall out, though they still include a rigid or semi-rigid seat.

As well as on Ships and Boats where they originated, bosun's chairs are also used for working at height on Buildings and other Structures .
