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

A valuable feature that I wasn't aware of until after I had purchased
and installed my boarding ladder............
Hopefully non of us has to use the ladder to get back on board in an
emergency, but this is a good safety feature as well.....

SPINDRIFT   swings on a mooring in front of our cottage and while
cooling off with a swim, I often want to climb aboard to tinker or sun
bath.   So the most important feature to me is to be able to lower the
ladder myself from the water and also be able to swing it back up and
secure it, from the water when I am ready to swim ashore.
Just remember.....there may not be someone on board to lower the ladder
for you when you need it.

Cheers,    Rod

  I am intereted in finding out what sort of boarding ladders are in use
  in the group? Tansom vs side ladders? What are the plusses and minuses
  of each type? Recommendations for really good ladders? Warings for bad
  ones? 

  In particular,I am interested in the removable transom ladder sold by
  westmarine (P. 630) in the 2006 catalogue. I remember that this ladder
  was mentioned several years ago, but I do not know if the dicussion is
  still avaliable. In any case a lot of water has gone under the dam
since
  that discussion.

  I realise that this query is part specific and part fishing
expedition.
  Any contributions would be most appreciated. In case you wonder, my
  current ladder is a rather inexpensive, lightweight ladder I purchased
  from Defender.

  Thanks for any and all insights
