Any one have some ideas or examples to making flybridge stairs more friendly.

BJG New Member

fly bridge stairs On our 63 ocean, i had the steps rebuilt in teak. we made the just a little larger and made all the difference in the world. Ocean steps suck. I think the whole project cost me just a couple hundred bucks and it was well worth it.

Im not sure about making bridge steps more friendly other than maybe some non stick coating or something like that. I have seen pictures of a Fly bridge SF that had a nesting crane on the back of the fly bridge. the crane had a remote control and could lift the disabled owner from the dock to the cockpit or up to the bridge. and it looked pretty decent. I don't remember where I saw the pics. I also have also seen a 30-35 ft lobster boat that was designed for a disabled owner to Bluefin fish. The boat was in Portland Maine and was also a very nice looking and well designed boat.

Lou, I hope all is well. I know that Pipewelders out of Miami does make a hydraulic or electric hydraulic ladder set up for flybridges, I did just check and they have a great video of the ladder in action.

BJG, I am looking to do the same thing with the stairs on my Ocean Yacht 46, do you recall how wide you made yours. Trying to decide between 4" and 5". Thanks, Alex

Does a ladder help support the flybridge?

Discussion in ' Powerboats ' started by partgypsy , Aug 11, 2008 .

partgypsy Junior Member

My 47 Chris came in two models... with or without flybridge. Both models's tops are supported at the leading edge, along the side walls (mostly window), and at the aft ends. In addition, there are two 2"x3" box-section aluminum supports. The flybridge has a fixed ladder at about center, the other version has no center support. I wanted to make the ladder removeable as it intereferes with just about everything on deck. When I unfastened it, the cabin top seems to have dropped about 3/4" (Or the floor sprang up the same amount). Is this just a matter of the boat changing shape over the years? Or possibly, the builder accounting for the extra weight on the flybridge, making the ladder into another support member? Do I need to worry about this?  

How does Whio do it?

The Flybridge: An Uplifting Experience for Boaters

Introduction:.

Boating enthusiasts seeking an elevated experience on the water often turn to flybridges, a distinctive feature found on many modern boats. This article aims to shed light on flybridges, highlighting their benefits, potential pitfalls, and use cases, while providing a concise guide to help boaters make an informed decision when considering a boat with a flybridge.

What is a Flybridge?

A flybridge is an upper deck located above the main helm station on a boat. It offers an enhanced vantage point, providing commanding views of the surroundings and creating a spacious additional area for relaxation and entertainment. Typically accessed via a staircase or ladder, the flybridge offers a unique perspective, allowing boaters to soak in panoramic views while enjoying the open air.

Benefits of a Flybridge:

• Superior Visibility: The elevated position of a flybridge provides excellent visibility, enabling captains to navigate with confidence and monitor their surroundings effectively.
• Enhanced Social Space: The additional deck space on the flybridge allows for increased seating capacity, making it an ideal spot for hosting guests and socializing during a cruise.
• Privacy and Escape: When anchored or moored, the flybridge can serve as a private retreat away from the main deck, providing tranquility and seclusion.

Considerations and Warnings:

• Height Restrictions: Boaters should be mindful of height limitations such as low bridges or overhanging structures that may restrict access to certain waterways or marinas.
• Weather Exposure: While the open-air nature of the flybridge offers a refreshing experience, it also exposes occupants to the elements, requiring suitable protection from sun, wind, and rain.

Use Cases for Most Boaters: Flybridges are particularly well-suited for the following scenarios:

• Cruising and Sightseeing: Flybridges offer an unparalleled vantage point for enjoying scenic coastal cruises, allowing passengers to take in breathtaking views.
• Entertaining Guests: The spaciousness and social nature of the flybridge make it a desirable location for hosting gatherings and enjoying quality time with friends and family.
• Sportfishing: The elevated position enhances visibility for spotting fish, making flybridges popular among sportfishing enthusiasts.

Instances you should not consider a flybridge:

• Performance Boaters: For boaters who prioritize speed and maneuverability, a flybridge may not be the best option. The additional weight and height can affect the boat’s center of gravity, potentially impacting its performance.
• Trailerable Boats: If you frequently transport your boat on a trailer or have limited storage space, a flybridge may pose challenges due to its added height. Trailering and finding suitable storage accommodations might be more cumbersome with a flybridge-equipped boat.
• Solo Boaters or Small Crews: Operating a flybridge requires going up and down stairs or a ladder, which may not be ideal for solo boaters or those with a small crew. Maneuvering between the main deck and flybridge can be more time-consuming and potentially pose safety concerns when handling the boat alone.
• Budget Constraints: Flybridge-equipped boats often come with a higher price tag compared to boats without this feature. If budget constraints are a primary concern, opting for a boat without a flybridge may be a more cost-effective choice.
• Low Bridge Areas: Boaters planning to navigate through waterways with low bridges or other height restrictions should carefully consider whether a flybridge is suitable. The added height of the flybridge may limit access to certain areas, potentially restricting your boating options.

A Short Guide for Considering a Boat with a Flybridge:

• Determine Your Boating Style: If you enjoy socializing, sightseeing, or fishing, a flybridge may greatly enhance your boating experience.
• Assess Navigational Needs: Consider the waterways you plan to navigate and ensure that height restrictions will not limit your access.
• Evaluate Budget and Space Requirements: Flybridge-equipped boats often come at a premium, so carefully assess your budget and the space available for mooring or storage.

In conclusion, flybridges offer a unique and rewarding experience for boat owners and enthusiasts alike. With their superior visibility, expanded social space, and versatility, they elevate the boating experience to new heights. By understanding the benefits, considerations, and appropriate use cases, boaters can confidently decide whether a boat with a flybridge aligns with their needs and preferences.

I intend to make/replace my existing teak treads after 35 years of faithful service. They are beyond the sanding/refinishing rehabilitation stage. Has anyone undertaken such a project? I am assuming all the steps are the same on the tall ladder as far as angles etc. Any idea if the slope of the port side ladder is idiotical to the tall ladder? Obviously not as wide but wondering if the angles of the tube holes will all be the same. Any thoughts re: routing grooves/channels in each step for traction? More specifically a "v" shaped bevel vs something like a 1/4" rabbited groove? Anyone know, for sure, why the tube holes were cut to the outside of the treads? I wasn't sure if it was to act as some sort of expansion slot for aging or if needed potentially when reassembling. I think my biggest challenge will be drilling the holes that house the bolts through the tubes. Any suggestions on executing this exacting feat? Thx

Re: Replacing/Making Teak Treads to Flybridge and Ladder to '81 Hat

Assuming you have contacted Sam's. On my 1975 31EC, the tubing holes do not go all the way to the outside-maybe 3/4" of meat left on ends. Yes, I also believe all tubing holes in a straight run will be same angle. I would say drill press with proper clamp downs needed for bolt holes. Didn't think these could wear-out. However my FB only gets occasional use. Your crew wearing proper shoes? Gary

A customer of mine had his replaced with King Starboard in the "seafoam" color that matches the boat well. Here is a photo.

Eric 41TC 1966 Hull #53 "Requisite" Kent Island, MD/Ft. Lauderdale, FL "Though she creaks - She holds"

Is Starboard strong enough to bear weight by itself? Or does it need a backing plate underneath it, like SS?

These steps were already backed with SS.
