Ballad.de

My Ballad did not come with a folding boarding ladder on the transom as some Ballads do, so I made my own. It is highly customized to fit one place only on the starboard quarter. Marine plywood sides provide strength to hook over the toe rail and mahogany makes up the treads and the fold down section for swimming. It is sized to fit easily in the cockpit locker. I can provide patterns or finished ladders to anyone interested.
