[Public-list] Boarding Ladders

[Gordon Laco]

Hi there -

Mine was made by Stainless Outfitters of Barrie Ontario.  My only complaint
with it is that the stand-off legs are too short, I would have liked them to
be a little longer.

My opinion of boom brakes is that they are more hassle than they are worth.
You can quite efficiently control the boom even in high wind jibes by using
the mainsheet.  (that's just my opinion - watch, now that I have made the
preceding statement, I will break something during a jibe this summer...)
