Seat modification a Getaway for older sailer wit a bad back?

Hi guys,

I have a Hobie Getaway which I have ownedfor a little over 20 years. It's a great boat and I really enjoy sailing it (on a lake in CT). Recently however my bad back acts up every time I get on the boat, either sailing it or even just doing a repair (just installed a new rear tramp).

Can anyone suggest a fix of some kind? I'm an experience sailor/captain but I'm almost 70 and my back is really feeling it. Is there anyway to install some kind of seat (other than the wings). Maybe a captain's chair? Any ideas welcome, thanks. -Al

I assume you need a backrest? Maybe you can mount a canoe seat on each wing.

Thank you! I purchased two canoe seat backers to mount on the Getaway wings as you suggested. It definitely helps, but then there are also always those moments on a sailboat when you have to move suddenly across the boat to address a given situation. An improvement to be sure, again many thanks.

Best,
