G'day,
Rare Bird's ramp is great. Even greater if you are planning on doing
some swimming. Weight is the panel weight plus composite hinges. I
am less keen on trampolines on cruisers than I was as they let water
through. Depends on your priorities.
Rudolph, Any chance of a report on Arttu's boat?
regards,
Rob
