[Public-list] Boarding Ladders

[Gordon Laco]

Hi David - 

I use and prefer a permenantly mounted stainless steel ladder.  Ours is
fitted to the transom and hinges up to be lashed to the stern pulpit.

My reasoning is that it is always ready for use and is our Plan A to help
someone aboard. 

Cheers - Gord #426 Surprise
