Thinking about making a bow platform with folding ladder
er for easier access to pontoon and for cruiser shute attachment without changing anchor roller. Perhaps fitting on top of cap rail. Has anyone done this? Will need down strut for rigidity. Thinking tube frame should be 1.5 " minimum.
SVB do one. Cheaper and easier than making your own.

Swedish online shop Hjertmans sells multiple sizes, I believe they provide also sizes suggestions based on boat / gennaker size.

Google translate should cope well with Swe-Eng trsnslation.
We have a Hjertmans/ båtsystems platform (peke) on our boat, installed by po. We just added the cassette ladder Ford easier boatding.
Just adding old photo when we did not yet have the ladder. Anchor can serve as a step...
Thanks for information. Svb is too small. Like the swedish designs but over. Priced. Gave me some ideas. Should be easy to get something made up in turkey.
