Moving around the boat.

View of the side deck on Sail Barbary, showing narrow walking space and handrails for accessibility awareness.

I often receive requests for information about how to easy it is to move around the boat. Especially for customers who have mobility problems with steps or ladders. I thought

it would be helpful to show some photos of areas that may or may not cause some issues with accessibility.


Depending upon the lake level the boat will require either a small step across and either up or down to access the boat. I have included a photo to show a step across and another where the lake is low but the customer steps across to a step below the jetty. (this is seen in another photo)

We have a bathroom/toilet available which is accessed by a ladder/narrow step. This ladder is best climbed down backwards for safety. 

In the Summer we have a swim stop. People who can swim jump into deep water and climb back onto the boat by a ladder. See swimming photo.
