Boarding Ladder

Watching my teenagers STRUGGLE to come aboard our Hunter 25 with a 3 step boarding ladder has made me realize that if I ever go over the side when single-handing, I'll be in trouble. It's been a long time since I was as agile or light as they are. I've been wondering how to extend the boarding ladder another step or two, without spending a lot to replace it. Do those "add a step" products work well? What about attaching a boarding stirrup to the lower rung?

Folding ladder

You can also install a folding ladder that, when extended, will go a lot deeper. Check out West Marine.

About the folding ladder...

Tim... This folding ladder is the rope one with orange steps? Have you tried it? I had the impression it would swing away from me, and I'd be climbing up at a backward angle. Is this doable?
