passerelle

[lanerboy]

does anyone know where I could get a passerelle fitted to a phantom 40 2004, i can go either way buy a passerelle from ???? and get someone to fit it, who though???? or would i be better buying and fitting from same company

also anyone have any idea on the cost, not sure regards lifting capacity not sure whether to have a rib or jetski obviously a rib would be lighter so possibly the favourite.

cheers

Shawn, you might try Mark (Elessar) off this forum. He removed one from his Sealine, and if he does not fit them himself, he will more than likely know who does. Certainly Osmotech and Landau at Swanwick will do this sort of work, but not much good for you at Weymouth.

Shaun you could always buy a 2.7m aluminium hull tender which can easily be lifted on and off the bathing platform and save you 10k on the passarelle

Yep I may well do something along those lines as I have just been watching the youtube video of the hurley davits system which I could not have on the s37 as the bathing platform was too small but it may work ok on the phantom 40 just need to measure the depth of the platform and work it out.

can it really be as easy as this, it does look like a small outboard on their tender though

Yep. Works pretty much like this on Rafiki.

Shawn, a passerelle will as Terry said be £10k kind of price. On my Phantom 42 we had a Valiant 2.8m RIB and 5hp outboard (the lovely Merc/Mariner/Tohatsu 2 stroke, of which I hope you can find one 2nd hand) and we just lifted/dragged the thing from water straight onto the chocks with the engine always attached not removed. Easy peasy. The chocks had a sliding "ramp" part to their profile, at the aft end, which was very helpful because it allowed us to drag the dinghy up the ramp and into the V of the chocks, without bashing the mothership's gelcoat. See pics. This is what I would do on a 40 footer

That's pretty much what the Hurley does, except the chocks are moveable to ease the tender on and off. Works great with my Ribeye, with the alu hull. 6 hp 4 stroke which is a fair bit heavier than your old 2 stroke I would guess.

Hi John

Thanks for the pics that looks easy enough, did you have the chocks specially made to fit your tender. Were the chocks made from teak and how did you fix them to the boat, also were they permanently fixed or removable

thanks shawn

Blocks of teak in 50mm x 180 section, from kj howells. About 70 quid for the pair nowadays. Yes, cut to hull shape of tender. Removeable (for when swimming), and attached to deck using a 50mm x 4mm length of s/s strip screwed to bottom of chock, and with an M8 or 10 thumbscrew going into threaded "upside down top hats" set flush into the deck

 

[lanerboy]

thanks again john

this all sounds a very good and much cheaper option, I sort of understand how you fixed it but do you have any pictures sorry to be a bit thick what are top hats ??????

 

[LionsDen]

Hi Shaun - The chocks are normally made from teak and are specially shaped to fit the individual tender - on my boat they are back fixed to the stainless steel chocks which slide into the 2 number locating lugs per chock on the bathing platform and are easily removable allowing you to have a nice clear bathing platform c/w table and chairs on which to have a drink alfresco on whilst you while the time away

I trust this assists - I also liked the alternative system you posted but not sure if that has to be permanently fitted - Terry

I had the same system as Rafiki and you get solid plastic chocks built into the frame which you can cut to match the shape of your dinghy hull. System works well but depending on dinghy all up weight it can be a handful for one person. Much cheaper than a passerelle but not as easy to use.

However, in this country, unless the passerelle stows into the transom, it can be a bit in the way of the bathing platform. For the med guys, I recognise it is pretty much a necessity.
