Hi all
I need to buy a stern mounted boarding ladder to replace the integrated one on our Monitor self-steering that was recently bashed. It's an insurance job so I'm not being tight but I'm also not taking the mick by going high-end. Something mid range, wooden steps (would be nice), that you can fold/slide down from the water and be able to get your feet on in the water. It'll be fixed rather than removable.
Any recommendations?

Why not google boarding ladders for sailboats which will give you a vast array of what is available. However think you will find a sliding (rather than folding) one rare, similarly wooden steps unless you have it custom made.

I've yet to make mine up but it will be folding and I like the idea of a "swimming board" at the bottom. I have a 2ft X 1 ft Acrylic Sheet for that. I hope I'm never in the situation of a woman whose husband went overboard. She managed to get him to the swimming board but didn't have the strength to get him up the ladder. She tied him to the yacht and sailed for help. I plan to have a pulley on the push-pit so I haul a person up using a sheet winch.
