Boarding Ladder & Swim Ladder
The boat has a teak swim step
at its aft end. This step is fitted with
a sturdy, rugged swim ladder. To
lower the ladder (which slides up
and down), slide it up, swing the
retaining lever out of the way, then
lower it carefully. To raise the
ladder, lift it until it is high enough
for the latching posts to clear its
catches, and swing it back under the
posts
.
The boat also has a detachable
but secure boarding
ladder that latches onto the hull at
the railing gate.
See illustration. It stows near the F/B
steps.
When the boarding ladder is not attached, boarding is facilitated for limber crew members via the
teak step on the rub rail; you can see it in the “boarding ladder in place” photograph above.
Be sure to remove the boarding ladder before moving the boat or
undocking!
