  Any help identifying this ladder would be appreciated.

   Thanks,

Bill,

This looks pretty well exactly like my CP19 ladder, except mine bends more for the first step.

I know of where you can have one made, it is probably the place that was the source for Hutchins possibly if that is a Hutchins ladder.....
If you need the company to have one built, I will get it from my Roledex at work.

Com Pac farms this job out to an outfit in California, I purchased a CP ladder from the factory only to have it dropped shipped from this place out West. It came, UPS, bolted down to a piece of plywood that I used to make a new drop board. It was pretty expensive and almost fit flat to the transom.

skip.

   Thanks for the replys Mac and Skip - much appreciated. Mac, if you have the name of the company, I'd appreciate it if you could pass it along when you get a moment. So judging by both replies, I'm assuming this is the ladder is the stock one that Hutchins supplied for the 16's, right?

   This one seems longer than the Garelick that others are using. I've used swim ladders in the past that didn't extend far enough into the water, and they make getting back aboard way harder than it needs to be. I paid a small fortune for a stainless steel ladder for our Union 32, but it makes getting aboard after a swim so easy, I've not once regretted spending the money for it.

   Thanks again guys,
     Bill
