May 2010

Folding ladder – May 2010. I sold the existing ladder and bought a Mystic Stainless Foldaway ladder that mounts onto the caprail track.  At the suggestion of the manufacturer I bought the three section long version and am glad I did as it makes getting back on the boat really easy from the water.

Old ladder. While this was a beautiful ladder, the Monitor took precedence and it was in the way.

It also was a bit difficult to get off the boat. Stepping over the back lines and balancing on the caprail wasn't easy and, more than once, trepidatious.

New Mystic Stainless ladder

New trifold ladder. Fits neatly at a stanchion. Folds easily.

In the water. Definitely easier to get onto the boat and to transfer items to and from the dinghy.
