I recieved the Sit n Sail wings yesterday.All was well packaged. Awoke this morning anxious to put them on.These are a HIGH QUALITY product which have been WELL THOUGHT OUT.It took approx. 1/2 hour per side to install and thats counting the numerous step back and admire moments.They look great on the boat. They are light weight and appear very sturdy.I climbed aboard and the seating position is great and they are very comfortable when sitting on the tramp and using them as backrests. This company deserves to succeed.This is a great product.
I took a bunch of digitals which I am going to try to upload to the beachcats web site. Hopefully, I will be able to get them up there.I'll put them in the tech section.
The test sail will be tomorrow if I can make the time.

How do you contact the company? Company name, address, phone number, email, website, etc. How much did the seats cost?

OK, so I like the way they connect and they look like they are sturdy and at the right angle, but they have so many sharp corners and the seats look REALLY hard? How do they feel?? Could anything be done about the corners?? Just wondering..

I don't think the corners can be modified. The seats are made of a solid material however, I (and I have a rather bony a**) find them very comfortable. I have spent 8 hours on them with no complaints.They also make a great back rest while just kicking back.
