Claims16
A boat comprising a hull having a transom having a stern platform, such stern platform comprising a first part or fixed platform and a second part or movable platform, there being provided for actuator means adapted to move the movable platform from a navigation position towards the water in which the boat is found or to lift such movable platform from the water to return the movable platform to such navigation position in which it is removed from the water,
- wherein the movable platform comprises a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having a planar surface and the second portion having a planar surface, both such portions being walkable when the movable platform is in the navigation position and the movable platform is lifted from the water, said portions lying on a common plane when the platform is in said position so that both can be walkable,
- wherein there is provided for at least one element for supporting the first portion of the movable platform fixed to the hull of the boat, said movable platform rotating with respect to said at least one support element,
- both said portions being movable with respect to the hull of the boat and being mutually interconnected,
- the first portion being adapted to rotate with respect to the hull and the second portion being adapted to translate with respect to the such hull remaining on a horizontal plane,
- the first portion having opposed first end and second end and the first portion being hinged to the hull at the first end and the second portion being hinged to the second end of the first portion,
- said actuator means being an articulated parallelogram mechanism adapted to carry out the movements of the platform portions mentioned above.

- wherein there is provided for at least one element for supporting the first portion of the movable platform fixed to the hull of the boat, said movable platform rotating with respect to said at least one support element, and
- wherein said arm is hinged to a body fixed beneath the second movable platform portion, such body being hinged to the first portion of the movable platform, the distance between said hinges of the body fixed beneath the second platform portion and hinged to the first platform portion being equal to the distance between the hinges which constrain the first movable platform portion to the relative support element and the underlying arm to such first movable platform portion.
