MAC 25 ladder from BWY

Post by RickC »

I may be interested in purchasing a Mac 25 ladder from Blue Water Yachts. The problem is that while they can order one from their supplier the lady on the phone couldn't remember the specs (length etc.)

Does anyone have this ladder and the specs? A picture or description of the ladder and how it folds wold be very helpful as well.

Failing that does anyone have a good source for a transom mount ladder that will fold down to allow a decent length in the water for ease of boarding as well as enought steps above water to allow easy access over the ransom.

Thanks in advance

I assume you are looking for a rigid 4 step stainless steel ladder that attaches at the top to the stern transom folds down and then swivels up when not in use?? I bought one from BWY about a year ago. If this is what your after I will try to find my invoice and get you the model #. I will, when I get a chance, measure mine and send you the specs to see if this is what you are looking for. The V-25 and Mac-25 have the same hull configuration. What part of the country are you in?

Just spoke to Dave at Railmakers in So Cal. He has ladder in stock. Will ship direct to you. $160 + freight. 949-642-6506. Ladder is 10" wide, 36" high, stainless steel with two rungs, top and bottom steps. No wood. Swivels up and down. Will fit your boat perfectly. I backed mine up with plywood and aluminum backing plate. Good Luck, What part of country are you in. Fair Winds and Full Sails.... Old Salt
