Dimension of wooden boarding ladder are below.

The Light Wooden ladder may be useful for capsize recovery for some boats

It is not needed for capsize recovery on Enrico’s Goat Island Skiff, but it may be useful for reboarding after capsize on other boats.

Typically boats that are larger, have water ballast or come upright after capsize with little or no water inside may need a ladder

Enrico uses his Goat Island Skiff “Mira” for adventurous sailing along the coast of Italy, so it is a useful safety factor. Much lighter than most other options.
