Climbing aboard a Center Cockpit

[atrometer]

we will be cruising with our newly acquired 1998 Beneteau 36 CC. It came with a 3 step set of stairs for boarding easily, BUT we can't take the stairs with us. How do people board????

You have an open transom correct?

 

[Stu Jackson]

Bring steps with you or get hanging ones. Or board at the shrouds.

board at the shrouds.

Stu is that where you raise your foot above your shoulder, grab the shroud and pull with all your might? All the while hoping you won't end up looking like fresh meat hanging on the side of a boat.

You need a boarding ladder, rather than dock steps.
These are pretty cool

Here you go, see if you get any ideas "marine boarding ladders"

Thanks ALL for the many good ideas! Now I know where to look I will find something.
