HERA has the Bavaria 50’s original manually lowered bathing platform. It takes on its most practical role during the swimming day between Unije and Mali Lošinj.
The broad surface close to the water makes entry and return easier. Operating and securing it remain deliberate steps.
Secure first, then open
The platform is used only in a suitable situation. Surroundings, yacht movement, stern area and fastening must fit. Exact operating instructions follow HERA’s installation.
Comfort belongs to the sailing adventure
Swimming from a 15-metre yacht connects nature with modern comfort. There is no contradiction: the equipment makes the day at the buoy pleasant and uncomplicated.
Both comfort feature and heavy moving part
The Bavaria 50’s manual bathing platform brings the cockpit close to the water, yet remains a large moving part at the stern. Lines, dinghy gear and people are cleared before one person leads the movement and checks fittings and securing points. Only after HERA lies steadily at the buoy does the platform become the entrance to the swimming day between Unije and Mali Lošinj. The same attention returns when it is closed.
