I'm sure there must be a simple solution, but I'm struggling to find it!

I can certainly see from the last pic why you wanted this excellent solution and great work

I am sitting in Skiathos at the mo in a monster downpour so this made excellent reading

Ok, I can't still call this a "proper" setup, 'cause the stanchions were stored inside the huge compartment under the tender and I can't be bothered to move it to take them out atm - also because the current berth is just temporary anyway.
But I think that this couple of pics is more than enough to give an idea.

It's easy to see why this passerelle is much more convenient vs. going up and down the hydraulic one.
And the wooden base is working just perfectly, also with the passerelle in its place.
Rock solid doesn't begin describing the feeling while walking on her - VERY pleased about it.

Btw, it might appear too long judging from the pic below, but once in her home berth, I will normally keep the boat more far from the dock, so I'm confident that it'll be just perfect.
In fact, the current length (220) is the result of a cut and shut, because the thing comes from a motorsailer, and was originally 3m+.

The only minor drawback is that it's rather heavy, but I can live with that.
And if I should be real fussy, it's annoying that its quality puts to shame the other Besenzoni stuff... :ambivalence:

Great photo of your boat from this angle P, looks fantastic and very tidy. I knew it would have to be for you to be interested in it.

How is the dinghy? What size OB, length etc?
