My hull # 255 is right around 70 degrees from horizontal, 'course how your boat is sitting will affect that.

Chuck, if you find our July 2009 JibSheet, accessible from the JibSheet tab on the C36IA home page, you'll find an article on fabricating swim platforms on the Mk I. It has dimensions in it.

Thanks to both of you for the reply, I will check out the Jib Sheet. I have everything I need, just needed that last messurment which I'm thinking is the 17 degrees

Chuck - Did you ever complete the swim platform, and if so, could you share pictures of it? (We're contemplating a similar project).

I had a platform built to my specs by an outfit in Ontario called Stainless Outfitters (they shipped to New York at minimal cost). I'm posting some pictures. Its a very nice addition to our boat, kind of adds a "back porch" that is nice to hang out on and makes dingy access and swimming access much easier. There is a telescoping ladder that slides under the platform, which is another nice feature as it can be accessed by a POB.

Here are two more photos (seems that we can only do 2 at a time on the revised site, rather than 4)

Chachere, I am planning to do the same thing, really like your platform. I have a few questions:

Ludo:
1. This is one of those rare projects where my answer is "no" -- its fine.
2. No. I've been out in some significant following seas, no problems. I make sure to put an old sail tie around the telescoping ladder so that it doesn't slide out in rough seas.
3. I was able to install while the boat was in the water, at a floating dock that provided me with good access to the stern.
4. I believe there are 4 steps (not on the boat at the moment), and its easy to get out of the water. Each rung has a starboard tread on it, so its easy on bare feet.
5. The price in 2014 for the platform with integeral telescoping ladder was $1695.00, plus shipping.
I know the fabricator (Stainless Outfitters) is still in business, since their advert appears in the latest issue of "Good Old Boat" with a picture of my installation! Hopefully they still have the plans/measurements from my job. I dealt with someone named "John" at sales@stainlessoutfitters.com.

Matthew,
Attached is a picture of the swim platform I had fabricated by Stainless Outfitters in 2011. Also note the davits they fabricated for me.

Those look really nice, my parents are pushing for us to add some sort of a swimstep. Do you remember how much these cost?

Alex,
the price was around 1300.00 CAD...I think. Seemed a bit high, but it was a custom install as mine was the first C36 they did in this fashion. Check their web site for contact info www.stainlessoutfitters.com . Tell them you want a price on the swim platform they did for Tom Grover's C36. They know me well as I have all of my stainless work done by them as they are close to me.
