I believe it’s a very fine boarding ladder. I had it semi-permanently mounted at the shrouds on my last BCC. As can be seen from the web site it’s a bit of a pricey thing ( $973 = $865 for the ladder & $108 for the steps ). Although I did have it mounted on the boat for awhile it’s in very fine condition. The ladder is three sections and 70 inches long .
The step option… Yes and No. When I ordered the ladder I thought I asked for the steps but they thought I did not. So they sent the ladder without the steps. So, I called and complained and they then sent me the steps. So I have the steps but I’ve not installed them. A simple matter of drilling the holes and mounting them.
Yes, I had to drill holes in the bulwarks to mount the ladder. While there are a number of arrangements available for mounting it I chose to mount it on the bulwarks, so drilling holes is necessary.
