Default How often is a swim platform used at the 41st parallel?

The Swim Platfrom is a cheap, fast way to extend the water line.


Cheap? Some of the best boats in the world have swim platforms. I think
a lot of people, like us, simply like them. My friend's Tayana 48 has a
swim platform and so do a lot of good family cruisers. Even the
retractable ones take up interior space, but I like those even better.
Seeing how the interior of our 35s5 is so nicely done and one of the
few to fit taller people, the platform is a surprising and welcome
feature. On our boat it's a nice place to sit and hang out as well. So
for us it's also added deck space...a good thing indeed.
