Hi all,
One of the things on my list is a swim platform and a step on the back of my sailboat. This would help in deploying and getting in/out of a dingy, as well as getting people into the boat from the water. Pets might like it too..
Anyway, after I read a recent post about someone getting their outboard engine whacked by a big wave. I have been wondering about the swim platform.
So my question is..
In big water, how would a swim platform do? Would it affect seaworthyness? Get ripped off the back with a big wave?
Thanks,
groundhog
