The Bosuns Chair is a lightweight and comfortable unit, which serves a stable work platform for the user. A bosun’s chair (or boatswain’s chair) is a device used to suspend a person from a rope to perform work aloft. Originally just a short plank or swath of heavy canvas, many modern bosun’s chairs incorporate safety devices similar to those found in rock climbing harnesses such as safety clips and additional lines.
