While visiting my extended family in SE Massachusetts, my dad took me for a nice Harbor tour.  The highlight of the trip was the Town Dock to see the new accessibility features recently installed. A very large lift platform now provides no-step access from the fixed pier to the floating dock. At the far end of the floating docks was a davit, available for the public to use to provide lift access onto a private yacht.  I’m told that if you call ahead, the town launch driver will bring the lift sling down to you and assist in operating the davit.  Nifty idea!
