Boarding ladder for CD 22

Post by Sal Randazzo »

I am looking to buy a boarding ladder that would be well suited for a CD 22. I am thinking stainless steel with enough rungs (5 or more) that would be easy to use to climb off and on for swimming. I want a ladder that would be easy enough for older people or people who do not have a lot of upper body strength (like my wife). My CD 22 has two mounting pieces along the rear starboard side that were used for a boarding ladder. Unfortunately, the ladder did not come with the boat. But I think a side boarding ladder would probably work better on my CD 22 then a transom mounted ladder. I know that some ladders that meet my specs can get pretty pricey, but I am hoping to find one that is not too expensive. Any suggestions, reccommendations etc. would be appreciated.
