Best practical tender ive ever seen. Looked at the different pdf files about the OC tenders i don't care what it cost Long az it can hold a bin full of kina I'm Happy I'm looking at buying one for open water adventures. The ladders a brilliant idea. Just need a standing up supporting rail . Maybe modify one to fit into the rollicking. I can feel confident standing and controling the throttle and steering gears.
Ok so the idea of this ladder is not for people that fall overboard. Is for people that are swimming, snorkeling, diving, spearfishing etc. Reboarding is tricky from any tender, the ladder just makes life easier. If you are a bulkier person, I would first have a go, slowly, you may be surprised! But otherwise have someone in the tender while using the ladder. And don't fall from the tender ideally! If someone large does and are in distress, the seat blocks are floatation device which you can throw to them to hold on to until you can maneuver the tender closer and launch the ladder for them. Also how do you get into your tender if you are on the bulkier side? Well same applies here. The ladder will make life easier.
@@octenders Please don’t misunderstand my comment. I actually like the design. My point is that the tender may very well completely tip to the point that water may flood the tender should a heavier single person attempt to enter as is shown by the slender female. I also understand it will not sink the boat. No design is perfect. I’m simply pointing out what I believe to be , IMO, to be a little misleading. Nevertheless I would consider your tender for purchase.
@@Goathead85 Not at all we didn't! I am just pointing out what the ladder is good for and how to use it. Common sense is your best ally. I still believe you should be able to climb on board on your own if you do it slowly and carefully. If you have someone else lighter with you, make them go first and that should be enough counter weight. We believe the ability to actually lean the tender over is an advantage rather a disadvantage to our models. These are important conversations to be had. The video intention was to show how to use the ladder, and the fact that there is one. Maybe you are right I should put a video of someone heavier climbing in, maybe we can ask for our offshore cruiser diver clients show us how they use these all the time to climb back on board. I think one of them may be close to the weight you set... good idea will ask!
