Abstract
A vessel or boat includes a hull having a stern at which there is a stern swim platform having at least one moving part capable of moving along and close to a portion of the stern, the moving part being capable of adopting at least a first working position in which it is out of the water on which the boat floats and a second working position in which the moving part is lowered with respect to the hull into the water, steps being provided at the stern. At least part of the steps is of one piece with the moving part of the stern swim platform and moves therewith over fixed steps provided within the stern, the movement of the steps taking place in a guided way, the moving steps forming an elongatable swim ladder with the fixed steps.
Claims19
A vessel or boat comprising a hull having
- a stern at which there is a stern swim platform having at least one moving part capable of moving along and close to a portion of the stern,
- said moving part being associated with actuators of one piece with the hull and capable of moving said moving part along the portion of the stern,
- said moving part being able to adopt at least one first working position in which it is out of the water on which the boat lies and a second working position in which said moving part is lowered with respect to the hull into the water,
- steps being provided at said stern capable of permitting passage from a deck of the hull to said stern swim platform,
- wherein at least some of said steps are of one piece with the moving part of the stern swim platform and move therewith over further fixed steps provided in said stern, said movement of the steps being performed in a guided way, the moving steps together with the fixed steps forming an elongatable swim ladder,
- said moving steps covering the fixed steps when the moving part of the swim platform is in the first working position,
- said moving steps freeing access to the fixed steps when said moving part of swim platform is in its second working position, the moving steps forming an extension of the fixed steps in this second position,
- wherein the hull defines a stern space, said stern space for housing a tender and being provided with its own moveable closing door,
- the stern space both sides being opposed respective first and second lateral sides,
- wherein one flight of the moving steps is located along the first lateral side of said stern space,
- wherein one flight of the fixed steps is permanently exposed to be capable of permitting passage from the deck of the hull to a portion of the stern swim platform which is immoveable, wherein the one flight of the fixed steps which is permanently exposed is located along the second lateral side of the stern space,
- wherein a second flight of fixed steps is located under the one flight of moving steps when the swim platform moving part is in the first working position,
- the stern space being located above the stern swim platform moving part when the stern swim platform moving part is in the first working position and when the stern swim platform moving part is in the second working position.
