Fold down swim platform
You naughty man!
"Capt. JG" wrote in message ... I agree. When I was in the BVI last, we had a chartered Athena 38. Even on a minimally heeling boat such as this cat, sitting and dangling your feet in the water was a bit scary for the women when the boat was doing 12 kts. I kept asking them... was that a fin... just there... see it? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Thom Stewart" wrote in message ... dbohara, The "Beny" used the Swim Platform as a Cheap way to entend the hull. A fold up would have a shorter water line and a shorter Hull wave. It isn't made for "people use" under way and heeled. That is why it is called a Swim Platform. For use when the Vessel is moored at Anchor. You Swim to it; not after it! I don't think sitting with you feet in the water at a 20 degree heel is what it was designed for. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage |
