Thanks all for the great insights. I will go ahead and install the ladder to
the starboard side of transom with 1-1 1/2 rungs in water and add a gate
sometime later.

If anyone is looking for a 34 centerboard I came across what looks to be a nice
one down in Virginia.

You want to have, at least, a good rung or two under water and a reasonable way
of clearing the pushpit. This applies to those of us who are not built like
Mark Spitz. Your Admiral will be thankful. I know that it may sound funny,
but one of the reasons why we changed boats was the difficulty of access from
the water on the old one and the open transom on the new one. I also know a
fellow sailor in our Club who is selling his boat for the same reason- his wife
had the hip replacement and has a major difficulty getting out of the water.
In short, when you install the new ladder, invest in a good solution: long
ladder and a gate in the pushpit. Good luck Marek 1994 C270 “Legato”Ottawa,

Subject: Re: Stus-List Boarding Ladder I will second the comments about
ensuring a good length of the ladder is underwater when folded down - my
mother-in-law fell into the water one time off our previous boat, and could not
get up the ladder - the lowest rung was barely below the surface. After that
debacle I invested in a lifesling, but on Secret Plans the ladder is a good
rung and a half under water, so it is much easier to get up.You may not plan
on swimming, but you should plan on being able to get out...Graham

I fail to see the problem with the ladder. You don't want riff raff getting
back on the boat.
My apologies to all mother in laws😜

Hi,
I am relatively new to sailing and the boat life, and this is my first post
here. I have a C&C 30' 1976 and love the boat. I have been working on different
projects, and now I'd to install a boarding ladder on my boat. I looked around
the marina and noticed a lot of people have their ladders right in the middle
of the transom. I am a little hesitant since the rudder seems to be somewhat
large and the last ladder rung might touch it or make it difficult for someone
to get on the ladder. I was wondering what you think about this, and if you
have ideas on where I should install the ladder.
the ladder is 3 feet long and 1 foot wide and has a hinge to drop it in water.
Thank you,AliC&C 30 1976Seattle

The central location would also depend on if you have a split backstay or not.
With a split one, you want it central. It also, usually, makes the gate easier
to install. Marek Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: RANDY via CnC-List

Subject: Re: Stus-List Boarding Ladder Hi Ali, I have a 1972 C&C 30 Mk. I,
hull #7, with a hinging swim ladder in the middle of the transom. I don't
think the bottom rung hits the rudder - I'll confirm that later today. But I
worry about people stepping on the top of the rudder. Fortunately I have
tiller steering, so I can turn the rudder through 360 degrees. So I turn it
around 180 degrees backward when I have the ladder down, to keep it out of the
way. I also do that when backing the boat - it makes steering easier when
backing. My only issue with the swim ladder is that, when folded up, it's in
the way of where the flag staff would go. So I have to fly my ensign from the
backstay. You might consider mounting the ladder to starboard on the transom
so it doesn't interfere with the flag staff. On the other hand, centering it
looks better, makes it easier to tie up when folded, and probably makes it
easier to climb into the cockpit. Cheers,Randy StaffordS/V GrenadineC&C 30-1
