We started designing seats that fold and store in front of the bulkhead. We started with and worked out a design, kind of like a lawn chair, where when you lifted the front of the seat, it all folded away.

We abandoned that idea when we figured out that we were putting all of the load of the seat on an area of the floor that is about 2 x 15 inches, and there are no stringers or frames under the floor right here.

So we settled on the design we are building where the weight is split between supports at the front and rear.
