swimming ladder Moody 31 MKII

[Erwin Swart]

I am looking for a swimming ladder for a Moody 31 MKII. Does anybody know where I can buy a swimming ladder for a platform?
I contacted Moody parts but they don't reply on my requests.

Erwin, I don't think Moodys are going to be able to supply you with an original one. Probably best to either have one made or choose one from the likes of Plastimo.

I think ours is about 30" in length which I can just reach with my foot when the boat is ashore, no problem when swimming though.

I suspect that any swimming ladder fitted will be an "after-market" part. My Moody 31 MkII has no sign of any such ladder, nor does any other Moody 31 MkII I know - there are several in the marina where I berth.

Given the very shallow sugar-scoop, wouldn't a swimming ladder tend to get in the way of using the sugar-scoop for boarding dinghies and so on? The freeboard elsewhere is a bit daunting for getting in and out of a dinghy.

As you can see from these pics my ladder does not interfere with the use of the sugar scoop platform. It was already fitted when we bought the boat so don't know where it came from.

You might also try the Moody owners forum Given age of prior posts ) which is one of the largest ones which exist I suspect

I’ve got one on my mk11. It has a kink in it so it rests flat against the transom. The rope enables pulling it down from the water. The lower section has plastic hose covering it so it doesn’t scratch the gel coat.

Google Moody 31mk11 then Images. Several there with ladders, some identical to mine. Must have been an option.
My boat was sold by Princess to Moodys at Swanick for finishing so maybe that was the source.

Have a look on Temu, Aliexpress, Amazon etc. There are loads of different types, styles and sizes at reasonable prices.
