SANGUINETI
ACCOMMODATION LADDER
Among those sailing articles reserved exclusively for super-yachts, we also
find "accommodation ladders" by the Italian company Sanguineti of Chiavari.
Accommodation ladders serve the purpose on larger boats of facilitating
boarding and leaving the boat by the owner and guest both when at anchor, and
so to and from the tender, or when berthed alongside. The models offered by
the company Sanguineti Chiavari include the model "King", made to measure, so
that it folds away into the bulwarks. It has a light alloy and stainless steel
caisson structure, with solid teak slats for the rungs and platform at the
base. The ladder is electrically controlled. The whole system includes a steel
cable, a controlled arm and an electric winch for assisting handling of the
ladder or gangway as it is also called. The company also makes a jointed
model, with a double profile parallelogram structure completely in anodised
light alloy with self-levelling rungs and platform in natural teak. This model
is available in the standard version with manual handling or with an
additional kit for electric control. The latest model to be to join the range
of products is an oleodynamic rotating ladder, caisson structure, rungs and
lower platform in light alloy, upper platform, articulated joint and fixing to
the boat in stainless steel. All the underfoot surfaces are in teak duckboard.
This ladder has oleodynamic folding, leaning and rotating actions. The
oleodynamic accommodation ladder has a particularly elegant design that goes
well with more modern super-yachts. For those wanting something more classic
and traditional, Sanguineti offers a classic style manually operated
accommodation ladder, made entirely in solid teak, while for those not
requiring cutting edge technology, there is also a manually operated fixed
rung accommodation ladder.
