BoatsExplained.com - Steps in stainless

If you find stepping aboard a high-sided boat from a dinghy or pontoon a bit of a stretch, you could try one of Spray Stainless Engineering's One Step safety ladders. Made of 316 grade (A4) stainless steel with a 6.5 x 17.5in (167 x 446mm) non-slip glassfibre step, it comes with a rubber fender to protect the hull, and folds flat when not in use. Brackets are available for boats without slotted toerails. The ladders cost £79.50, with a storage bag available for an extra £11.
Also available in Spray's range are three and five-step folding ladders, which use stainless steel spacer tube over the 12mm polypropylene line between each 3in (76mm) wide aluminium step. With a 12in (305mm) vertical gap between rungs, the threestep version costs £65.50, while the five-step costs £99.50. Other sizes can be made on request.
In addition to their ladders, the company produce a range of ball-valve seacocks in 316 stainless. Standard sizes are )4in to 2in BSP or NPT, but others are available to order - as are custommade handles if the normal long or short types (also stainless) won't fit. For latest prcing look at an online boat equipment shop.
