Opacmare continues its innovative and revolutionary research applied to yacht accessories and, thanks to the ever decreasing dimensions of mechanical systems, is pleased to present a a telescopic passerelle with mini cylinders: an absolutely new and original innovation that not only improves manoeuvrability at the stern but also enhances the boat’s overall appearance.

This passerelle is powered by two mini cilynders incorporated within the hinging system to the stern which replace the traditional hydraulic piston cylinder system. The result is a gangway with an inclination of nearly 130°, that still has the same lifting capacity as those with traditional hydraulics (from 660 – 1000 lbs depending on the length) and with a fixing plate reduced in height to 310 mm only.

The remarkable inclination range of this passerelle makes it the ideal solution for boats with a narrow platform as it leaves the stern obstacle free and allows for the tender to be drawn in even closer to the boat.

The series 8998S is available in seven lengths ranging between 92 and 158 inches.
