Oh, a couple of more things. We bought one of those Edson boarding steps
for the side of the boat. Works great helping us onto the dock or into the
dinghy.

The reverse pitch of the transom makes most stern ladders difficult to
climb. Here’s my solution. In theory, even if I were alone on the boat and
fell overboard I could unlatch the swim-platform, drop the ladder and climb
back aboard; assuming that its not moving and I’m not too drunk 😉
