Thank you.... it's absolutely brilliant....every model Boat Club should have one! :-)) ....[no more broken backs]........


Beautiful water ways and facilities.& the WEB page is informative.....[80 EURO  per year membership].......I am assuming the footprint size of the platform is indicated by my yellow lines?

So without wanting to experiment & reinvent the wheel, I would like to understand a little more about what is essentially a lift,or scissor jack lowering platform, that is suitable for continued operation in and under water


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated


Derek
