Thanks Guys,
Not exactly the info I was looking for, but very useful none the less.
We've seen ladders like this on several older boats and thought it might
work well for Mandisa. We've never actually used one. We're currently
using a West Marine aluminum four step ladder that bangs up the inside
of the cap rail and scratches the gelcoat. We've modified it so it's
less likely to dump us in the water, but it's still a really poor excuse
for a ladder. We keep it because we haven't seen anything locally that
we like any better. Hence my interest in the teak ladder.

Thanks to all!!

ps. Mandisa may be at Two Harbors for Thanksgiving (health and weather
permitting). We'd love to meet up with anyone else who might be there at
the same time.

Cindy
s/v Mandisa
