Access Dinghy Sailing Systems

The ACCESS 2.3 is a fully rigged stable 2.3 metre one person sailing dinghy which features electric controls of the rudder and mainsheet operated by a joy stick of chin controller. The sailor reclines in a laterally mounted lazy chair made of nylon webbing. The ACCESS 303 is a larger boat which has a 2 sails, a jib and a mainsail.

This system consists of a portable pontoon which can be fitted with either a modular off-the-beach (OTB) walkway, or a one piece ramp for use off a jetty, wall or bank on-shore. The OTB walkway is in four metre lengths which join at floats with 500kg bouyancy. The ramp is 6 metres long and like the walkway sections, is a foam sandwich laminate for weight saving portability. Both the walkway and the ramp have a removable hand rail down one side.

A fixed hoist which attaches to Access Dingy's Pontoon System or other applications to transfer a person with a disability into or out of a boat. The swivelling stainless steel davit is slotted into a PVC sleeve (bush) which is permanently attached to the wharf / pontoon. The LAYLAH manually operated wind up lifter is attached to the davit with customised lengths of cable and is used with a custom made sling, transfer seat or webbing straps on the life jacket.
