Hi
Putting aside my growing shed-envy, I love the prototyping going on!
I am a great fan of the original Fairey boarding ladder – a whacking great construction in mahogany and brass with a tubular metal extension below the waterline for access from swimming. The photo is poor quality as I can’t lay my hands on anything better.
This stows up under the cockpit seat and just feels right. It is also very easy to use in climbing up / down from the dinghy.
I am not sure whether it would fit a Titania – does the increased freeboard impact this part of the boat?
