Of course it is just impossible to be very close to the water on any sailboat that size… But I am curious about what solutions exist out there for a swim platform? What are you guys using when it is time for a dip?

This was never put into production , from my understanding moved up with the motor.

Wow thanks for sharing this Ponaldpe.... Do you have any more information at all?
I can add to this with a Pic I didn't even know I had lol! ... Zoom in and you can see the support bars underneath.

I like this solution :)

No Neo I do not remember where I found the photo and info . I read a short story with the photo, and liked it very much. Thought if I ever get caught up on some of my other projects, I would try and build one for my Mac. and the Deck boat.
