We are getting close to closing on a 2017 31 CB. Thinking about different dinghy options. What is the weight capacity of the swim platform on a 31?
Thanks,
Bobby
 
I weigh 185 lbs ( most of the time).... and I've stood on the swim step of a R25 Classic, R21 EC, R27/OB and now the R29 CB and the swim steps have all felt secure and sensed they would not collapse under my weight. On the R29 CB for example there are 5 braces of at least 1" diameter and from a structural perspective are quite adequate for supporting much more than 185 lbs. I hope this gives you some assurance and confidence for the structural capability/design of the swim step(s).
