aluminum ladders (or fiberglass) have been used as boarding ramps for long time. -put wood or alum diamond plate on the ladder (between the rails).
Boat to Dock - Low Tide
- Thread starter Pkb57
- Start date
Wow. The tide is very high (for Dana Point) on that first pic. Spent the whole weekend at the harbor this weekend. Sailed my boat Saturday, hung out on a friend's powerboat all Sunday. (was kinda the designated driver of the powerboat ).We had the same problem in Annapolis during extreme winter tides. -only me actually; wife didn't come out to the boat during winter. However, it was only extreme a couple of times, where it was difficult to get in and out, especially with ice and snow around the boat and dock.
I'm 5'11", and it was a challenge. Just had to climb. Used winches and rails as steps. Not safe. Luckily only a couple times.
Then we moved back to Dana Point. Woohoo floating docks (pics).
Sorry no real answer, only a story
Oh, hmmm.... Something on topic.... Passerelle is a great idea.
Yep. Extreme tides back in January. Check this out (pics). Same tide.
