Boarding Ladders

[commanderpete]

My Garelick aluminum ladder broke, after about only three years. This is the second one I had that failed. Piece of junk

I'm thinking of getting this stainless 5 step folding ladder.

Cheaper here, the part number is the same, but the picture and specs don't match

Might be the same one West Marine is selling

In case someone is looking for a ladder.

Since we're also talking about self-rescue, you can use a loop of line alongside the boat to get back aboard.

The line wants to swing under the boat when you step on it, but you just kick your leg back away from the boat and boost yourself aboard.

Might be able to rig something up with a jib sheet in an emergency
