Burke Rigid Seat Bosuns Chair

Burke Rigid Seat Bosuns Chair

The Burke Rigid Seat Bosuns Chair is designed for safe, comfortable mast work and extended periods aloft. Featuring a supportive sit-in design, padded timber seat, reinforced lifting points, and integrated tool storage, it delivers the stability, comfort, and security needed for maintenance and rigging work at sea or dockside.

The Burke Rigid Seat Bosuns Chair is engineered to provide maximum comfort, support, and safety while working aloft. Designed for sailors, riggers, and maintenance crews, its secure sit-in design offers enhanced stability and manoeuvrability when ascending masts or performing extended rigging and inspection work.

Constructed using high-strength double-layer 48mm lifting straps with reinforced halyard attachment loops, the chair has been tested to withstand loads exceeding 500kg, delivering dependable performance in demanding marine environments. The padded rigid timber seat and integrated lower back support help reduce fatigue during long periods suspended aloft, while the adjustable waist belt and crotch strap provide added security and stability.

Practicality is built into every detail. Two large utility tool pouches with integrated lanyard loops allow secure hands-free working, keeping essential tools within easy reach while reducing the risk of dropped equipment. An additional downhaul/lazy guy attachment point helps minimise unwanted swinging and provides greater control during ascent and descent.

Manufactured from durable nylon fabric, synthetic webbing, and closed-cell foam padding, the Burke Rigid Seat Bosuns Chair is built to withstand harsh marine conditions while delivering the comfort and reliability required for safe mast work both offshore and dockside.
