Howdy,

In the back of Boating magazine there used to be an ad for a flip-down
gang-plank that supposedly made it easier to get on & off your boat.
It didn't look to be more than 2 feet by 4 feet, they might have been
spring-loaded too.

Has anyone used anything similar to this? Our marina recently put in
new docks, and they're more than a foot higher than the previous ones.
My parents are getting older and can't do a high-jump to get off
their boat at low tide. It's a little 23' sailboat, without much deck
space for something permanent.

Thanks for any shared experiences with solving such an issue.
