I hung across the stern pulpits corner a lambswool lined horse saddle girth
strap. Comfy, easy, comes off and cheap.
Mi Lady loves it as it gives with the boats motion.

the first projects after purchasing Sea Hawk, (while we were still moored at
the sellers slip!) Was installing seats on the stern rails. I was without a
large array of tools and had little time. I got a 1x6 pressure treated deck
plank and laid it diagonaly across the corner of the stern rail. I traced the
outboard edge of the rail where he board crossed on the side and stern. This
left me with two diagonal curved lines on the board along which to cut. I wish
I had had more than a hack saw but I managed to cut reasonably close to the
line. Then I used a u-bolts on each of the far corners/ends of the board to
clamp it to the rail. Some acorn nuts dressed up the exposed threads. I
didn't even have to drill holes! I had planned to replace/redesign the seats
but truely they have worked so well that they will probably be left in service
until they are worn out. I purchased a lighted stainless steel cup holder that
I think could be incorporated by allowing the board to extend past the side or
stern rail (or both). I had also planned to remake them out of starboard.
Later I mounted some outdoor deck speakers to the underside of the board. I
stained the board to match the rest of the woodwork. In the future, I would
consider using a couple of those single screw conduit/pipe clamps, carriage
bolted from the top. I realy didn't expect to be so happy with the results.
They are comfortabe and affordable and fit in a very natural way to the lines
of the boat. Almost like they had always been designed to be there. They are
completely fixed with no moving parts and they don't get in the way of the
backstay or any of the hatches. I am tall enough that I can kick my feet up on
the aft jib-sheet winch. In fact, my companions during the delivery trip fron
Brooklyn to Maryland were shocked at how well they turned out as well.I never
thought to take a picture of them but you can try these:Try to zoom in on the
starboard aft corner and you can see how it fits.

see them in this picture of our companion (Les) during the delivery in Delaware
Bay.
