Interesting swim platform

It's a German company.
They have spent much on marketing. The Youtube animation is pretty awesome. I don't see evidence of an actual physical product or prices. Personally, I wouldn't give them any money until I saw one in real life. Something to watch for.

Good engineering idea.

Think about $$$...

first 1/2 if the video is a waste of time.
Felt like one of those insurance/retirement scams where they get you in a room and talk you to death till you give up and open your wallet.

If I were to design/install something like that, I would match the water line of the boat, extending the hull in a way that made our 26 feet look more like 30", hoping to improve hull speed.
Possibly make the rear of the boat more "sailboat" like.
I would also re-design the rudder brackets and rudders so they pull up and down like the daggerbord on an M. That way we are not dealing with trying to swing the rudders through a slot in the extension/swimdeck/whatever we would call this thing.
And while I was at it, with that much mods going on, provide an option to add more keel by adding a rib from the nose all all the way back.
Give our hull more to grab with and possibly cutting down on slip when under sail.
Or
Even adding side keels like a dual keel shoal draft boat.

Ya, I engineer a lot in my head, but never bother to do any of it.

I thought about this for the M, as a way to increase waterline length. Each “sponson” would have a step on the end. Too much work, I decided. Cool animation though.

Nice video - I'm not sure if the numbers demand is there. My kids love going over the side
