As you are browsing through the used marine gear chandlers in your area, we would sincerely appreciate it if you would keep an eye out for a side gangway, as pictured below. Thank you, in advance for your attention on this.
Side gangway

I'm down in Grenada. I only know the name of maybe 1/2 a dozen places around the nation, so I was hoping everyone could keep this post in the back of their mind when visiting their local used chandler. It would be great if there was a list of the hundreds of places around the nation, with email addresses and phone numbers, but I know of no such database.
it looks like a custom set up to me.... and it also looks very functional, except for when it comes to store it away. it doesnt look like a folding model...
it sure would make the dinghy access easier from a boat with high freeboard.
having one made for your boat may be the only option.

No, these were very common units some years back, before the stern access thing came about. There should be quite a few laying about at consignment shops, as boats were converted to the sugar scoop sterns. They fold up against the bulwarks or lifelines when not in use.
Try sailorman in Ft Lauderdale. I know nothing about boarding ramps so look at this list and see if anything makes sense to you. http://sailorman.com/categories/consignment-listings/boarding-ladders-ramps/
Thanks. They are one place I know well. Over the years I seen several there, but of course when you need one....
I have emailed them but have had no response, as yet. Not being Daddy Warbucks, a used one would suit us fine, but the need may require a fabrication. Thanks, though.
