(57) This invention relates to an improved support means comprising of a base, a member extending upwardly from said base, said member being resilient in the seating means longitudinal axis and a pivot attached to said member. This said support means is, particularly but not exclusively, seats used in sailboats and cruisers by helmsmen, which seat supports the body of the helmsman, but permits the helmsman's feet to remain in contact with the deck of the boat and allows him to change his body position to compensate for the pitching of the boat. Another version of these supports means can be used with a desk or draft table in an office or home.
