Not sure what you're seeing that you tho...Tate,<br />Not sure what you're seeing that you thought might be a boarding ladder but the stuff alongside the dink is stuff for the dink: 3 seats, transom, and an anchor. We used to use a rope boarding ladder that I made (see: http://tinyurl.com/8xz64rh) but it was kind of a pain since our feet would always swing under the boat when we were trying to climb up. It works, but it's not a great solution and our toes were always blue. Now we use a regular old telescoping ladder that hangs over the gunwales. We hang it from the ratlines when it's not in use. Ours is like this one: http://tinyurl.com/c2zrhv5. We opted for the 4-step model so it's easy to climb onto the boat from the water. The W28 has a fairly high freeboard.<br /><br />BTW, I realized we don't have an e-mail address for you guys. Why don't you drop us a line and then I can give you more detailed responses when warranted.<br /><br />-SteveSteve and Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762481109499699377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333964393145327986.post-2737797521019606872011-12-15T15:59:12.621-08:002011-12-15T15:59:12.621-08:00A rare Lulu sighting!
Thanks for posting up the ...A rare Lulu sighting! <br /><br />Thanks for posting up the photos of the dink on deck and secured too. Dani and I are interested in the porta-bote and wondering how you guys kept it on deck. <br /><br />I've got another question for ya. What type of boarding ladder are you guys using while at anchor? Is that it I see on deck as well? <br /><br />TateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
