I had a ladder fabricated by a shop in Michigan called Tops In
Quality. It is more expensive than Rogers version ($650) but is very well
done. It lives in the lifeline gate and pivots on hinges affixed to the
bulwarks. I’m quite pleased with it. I have photos if you are interested.

Does anyone have or know of plans for a boarding ladder specifically
for a BCC?
I recall that Roger Olson gave a detailed description of his adaptation of
a stock West Marine boarding ladder on this list a year or two ago. A search
of the BCC archives should find it. I’m thinking of doing the same thing
myself. Good luck,

I purchased the ladder Roger outlined in his excellent and detailed instructions. (About $140.- from West Marine) The ladder is high quality with flat rungs and collapses easily for storage. I opted a different attachment method with the mounting brackets on the outside of the hull as I was nervous about something that had even a remote chance of tearing off a toe nail on inside of the rail. Mounted between the upper and aft lower shroud, it is not really that unsightly and the ratlines are a great handhold for last step or two onto the deck. It works great! Bill s/v keeala
