Ugly it may be, but I'm sure the crew don't ponder that for a second as they take advantage of it. :encouragement:

Nice job! The boat is covered in fairy lights too.:encouragement:
People always want to get as high as they can to jump off - eg flip to 1:58 of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-10hYALKaAQ

Nice. Room for a springboard up there. 
They do seem to have fun with their boat. It's always got watersport gear strapped to it. For a tender they have the world's most unreliable jet ski. It's always being tinkered with.

And isn't that the whole point? A boat should be more than just jewellery and that fitting if the rails are strong enough, and the assumption is they are, does no long lasting damage to the boat. Win-win.

I wanted a flybrudge slide but the only size would be custom and they wanted more than my tender cost

You need a bit of lateral thought....

how funny
The first thing my kids asked when told we were changing to a FB was "can we jump off the top?"
Knowing there was no obvious launch point and paranoia about them clipping the side decks on decent I started to think about a mini dive board.
At Dusseldorf I was convinced someone would be selling something made for the purpose, unfortunately not.
Myself and Jimmy did spend a bit of time thinking of a home made contraption but I had something more stylish in mind - perhaps I'll just relent and go down the scaffold route !
