i just read all the posts on this thread and am filled with appreciation and awe to all those who contributed thus far. i think, IMHO, that this is one of the best threads on TF. (I'm sure the 50-60 year old kids won't appreciate it as much as I do. )

Some years ago I started to give up on my boating passion but with a new ride I regained my appetite for this past time. I am presently adding extra rails and anything that makes boarding and disembarking easier for my wife as she has a problem with her knees and balance. I plan to pursue this boating thing until at least I'm well into my 80s. At present I'm 76 and still motoring on!

I'm adding a "staple" to my swim platform tomorrow to aid in getting in & out of the dinghy. It will be mounted in the middle of the swim step, between the cleats, allowing each of us to stand up, grab the "staple" and disembark.
