Cabin Systems & Lifts
Personal Lift System provides access to the boat’s cabin during all sea conditions. The personal lift comprises a robust lifting platform, mechanically located and stabilized by B’Quest’s existing companionway ladder.
When not in use, the platform (seat) lies flush on the cabin sole and does not encumber safe access to the cabin by able-bodied crew-members. A push-button remote control pad, operating the lift winch motor, activates the personal lift. The platform is lifted to seat height for transfer, and then raised to the level of the companionway access. The personal lift platform also provides seating for a PWD crewmember working the “pit” area — the companionway crew position where lines (halyards, vang, etc.) from the mast and boom are trimmed and sheeted.
Centerline Transfer Bench allows sailors
to safely transit the cabin
length in order to access the boat’s head.
When not in use, the transfer bench is spring-loaded to fold up and out of the way. The sailor’s weight activates the transfer bench, and a safety lock holds it in the horizontal position until released. In a seaway, grab rails in front of and behind the transfer bench assist the sailor to transit the cabin safely. Similarly, the head is fitted with grab rails and a chest-level locking bar to stabilize the sailor in a seaway.
