My ship's neighbor also has limited mobility. He uses an extended boom on which a mobile crane is mounted on the underside to get onto the catamaran or to use the dinghy. Pictures are easy to find, it is a red IceCat 67.

Beth has a mobility problem, not insurmountable. Take on a crew member to assist both of you. There are young people, right up to older folk who would love to travel with you, people who do not have access to a nice boat like a Neil. I be willing to go with you, there is no reason to commit yourself to being less than you could be!!

So you ARE capable of getting through a video without saying "pee-pole" every minute. I have to click thumbs up for that. Wish you would do more sincere videos like this and give the always trying to be funny Plukky character some time off. You are SO much more interesting to watch when you're "out of character".

I'm a big fan of the disabled sailing the world. I simply don't believe being disabled is an excuse to not do it. People modify cars all the time to drive. It is my belief that a yacht can be modified to suit it's owners requirements also.

Peter...i tried putting up 6 times links to help these folks and they keep being removed.

They need a side gate that folds down to form a ramp ...or can allow a wide passerel type side or aft bridge to be run out.

See the disabled explorer cats Daz cat have built the sort of dingy and the loading system they need.

To get on and off the dinghy, put a lifting platform in stead of davits. The platform has cradles for the dinghy and goes to below the water surface. This solution also gives you a way to get into and out of the water easily. You really want that!

There are crazy expensive heavy versions of this, with hydraulics and all, which you don’t want. Have some arms under the bridge deck with hinges well forwards. Ropes and pulleys to an electric winch. Parallel stays keeps the platform flat.

“Sailing Uma” were on a cruising cat in the Caribbean recently that had something like that. The boat building people can make something nice out of this. Perfect aluminium project.
