[Public-list] Boarding Ladders

[Rod Symmes]

As you have noticed, mine has no standoff legs.  Where I wanted the ladder, I had only about 15" of  freeboard and very little hull to brace against (because of stern overhang).  My only concern was damaging the hinges by applying too much leverage.  I am 185 lbs but by climbing with my chest kept close to the ladder so the weight is straight down, it handles it just fine.  My only worry is if some "lard-arse" was to climb with his butt stuck way off the side or some kid tried to do a back flip off the ladder.  But for the wife and I , it is just perfect and uses no space for storage.

Cheers,    Rod

  It sounds like they make a four step version. I will call masons and
  ask. I assume the prices are candadian not USD. I know the difference is
  not what it once was, but every little bit helps.

  thanks. Your solutions and the "chesapeake" solution are both very
  interesting for different reasons.

  When I take pix for you, I will take some measurements as well. 
  I have this mounted on my penultimate boat.......so my boat  is not an
  Alberg 30.............YET !
  So you might want a 4 step version.
  I am sure we are not finished with the snow , here in Ontario and I
  will definitely have to get a lot more crossed off my "Honey-do" list
  before the Admiral will give permission to remove tarps.  Probably be
  May 1st.

  Cheers,    Rod

    I found it. How much of the ladder is in the water when it is
    deployed?

    Thanks

        Sorry, I just tried the link I sent you and it only takes you as
    far as the opening page.   If you type boarding ladder  into the
  quick
    search box at the upper left, the site will return a list of a half
    dozen choices.  Click on the last one and it should take you to the
  one
    like mine.

    Cheers,    Rod

      What ladder do you have? What source? That is a feature I would
  like
    to
      have, if possible.
