[C320-list] Helm seat

[Ian Neale]

Hi,

I adjusted the clamp positions on the seat so the seat is about 3 inches further aft. That made a huge difference to being able to use it due to the improved room behind the wheel. 

It now hangs over the back lip of the transom by 3 inches but thuu it s does not seem to cause any issues with stability. 

Thanks, Ian.
