REBOARDING LADDER
1 - The maximum number of people allowed on the ladder is only 1 person at a time,
with a maximum weight of 200 kg.
2 - The ladder is provided exclusively for the recovery of a person over board. It
should under no circumstances be used for other applications (mooring line, tow line
for outboard dinghy etc.)
3 - The cord should be cut ush with the waterline to avoid the risk that it will get
caught in the propeller. It must remain in position, accessible from the water when
the boat is sailing.
4 - In accordance with EN ISO 15085 July 2003 and its amendment in August 2009,
the bottom step should be at least 600 mm below the waterline. The higher the lad-
der is installed onboard and the wider the boat, the greater the inuence the heel of
the boat will have on the ladder. As such, it may be advisable to increase the height
below the waterline of the last step.
5 - Before installing the ladder check that the stern guardrails are properly in place
and comply with the standard (minimum tensile strength of 560N).
6 - The ladder should be checked at least once a week and/or before every sail. It
should be checked in particular for the presence of chang on the stern rail where it
is attached and possible wear due to UV on the structural parts of the ladder.
7 - This manual must be integrated into the owner’s manual in the event this ladder
is provided by a shipyard.
