From what?

Boarding from what?
- At port - no problem, maybe if quay is high, you need a ladder down.
- Out in the nature - I'll moor with one hull on the smoth rock
- Water - release one trampoline and let it hang down.

So what is the problem? / Christian

Good idea. That could be a way to recover a swimmer if they fell overboard -- or for pet owners to get their dog or cat aboard.

Trampoline wire

Post by Christian »

On a DF800 - the trampoline wire wears down the top of the ama when the trampoline is used as swim-ladder. So I put a rubber protection on the ama. First time you try - us a temporary protection lika a fender. But when you use the trampoline like this every day (when you are out on a tour), it is nice to have permanent protection. Don't know if you need to do any fixing on the other models. Marks from the wire does not look nice. So check before you use this idea too much.
