Pasarelle with LED lighting

Pasarelle with LED lighting by Exit Engineering. Exit engineering make some very light gangplanks. Pasarelles as they are often called are mounted usually at the stern, but can be mounted anywhere practical. The have one fixed end on the boat and the other end moves on the shore.

They are often suspended with a halyard which makes them more suitable for sailboats and larger powerboats. Once attached the Pasarelle makes boarding easy.

Often however the problem with a pasarelle is moving it and storing it. Exit engineering are one Company that specializes in very lightweight pasarelles. Made in carbon the ladders are easily moved despite the size. Carbon is very stiff so a carbon pasarelle can be so much lighter.

This new gangplank has lights built in. Mountedunderneath, the lights shine through small holes, making the ladder easy to navigate at night.

One neat feature I saw, was the halyard holding up the pasarelle, connected to an electric whinch which had a remote. The Owner could get to his boat and lower the ladder so he could board.
