As I am getting older I knew that if I ever fell overboard I probably could not get back on the boat without a ladder. This ladder is easy to stow in the cabin and if needed hook over the gunwales.
appears like a nice design but the vinyl cover on the rail hooks split on both sides with the first use. the pieces that fend off the ladder from the boat are *not* stainless and will corrode. it's quite heavy (stainless) and you need to fashion a line to it or it will end up on the bottom.
Used the ladder for several years while cruising. But, it's useless now as three of the rung keepers have disappeared. These split washers hold the rungs in place while using the ladder. I'm trying to find replacements as I like the ladder design.
