Safe. Easy. Attractive.

​

Stepping aboard from the dinghy can be a challenge and getting on or off from the transom downright dangerous.  The FoldAway Ladder gives you an added margin of safety whether boarding from your dinghy, dock or water.

 

Available in 3 lengths, reach for it with confidence when you come alongside. Get steadied; get a leg up, and you’re on your way, as graceful as a dance step. Boat ballet.

The extra length on the FoldAway makes it an important part of your COB recovery plan too. It reaches well into the water, allowing swimmers to reach it with hand and foot to boost themselves up and out safely.

Leave it deployed while you’re tied up at the dock. The life you save may be your own. 

 

Use a single section ladder for everyday boarding when away from your home port.  Combine it with a two or three section ladder on the other side and you’ve covered every scenario.

Underway, The FoldAway… Well… it folds away… nesting neatly and compactly along the lifelines. Like it was designed for it… and with it’s hard polished 316 stainless steel finish, it looks right at home on the finest yachts.
