Bow Boarding Ladder SO 45.2

[manlyp]

Has anyone got ideas for a bow boarding ladder for a SO 45.1. The bow roller is 150cm above the waterline and there is a small seat on the front of the pulpit 36 cm above the roller which sticks out 40cm infront. The anchor is permanently mounted on the roller and it is too heavy to move every time you wish to use the ladder.

I have seen the type shown below

used on yachts in Holland and Denmark. Depending on where you hook the unit on, you may also be able to use the anchor itself as a step (providing it is well lashed of course)

Many custom s/s welders (eg Mr Stainless in UK) could make up something similar to fit exactly
