Is it me or is the T40 swim platform really low...

[jcwads]

I spent a while yesterday bolting on several dock fenders on my pontoon.

Then realised that my T40's swim platform is really low, and pretty much goes underneath the dock fenders!!

Anyone else found that and any solutions you may suggest?

I’m planning on hanging large low freeboard fenders from Taylormade Fenders in the US from my swim platform

I just hang a cylinder fender from the rail on the stern.

Very easy on the T40, just wind the wheel all the way over.

Yep, steering and opposite stick means a stern thruster! compensate with a bow thrust to keep the bow from pushing out if needed.

The rumour that FL had consulted Tom Daley about customising the vessel with a 10metre diving platform really never materialised

You could be sinking

Fairline have usually very low to the water bathing platform, about half a foot above sea level, sometimes even less to that.

Ok ok, I agree the post deserved such replies. But it is really low!!!! I was just a bit pi**ed off having spent £150 on dock fenders that are now useless...!!!
