Lots of choices on internet...some expensive & heavy duty for heavier
sailors.
Recommend two steps below waterline for ease of climbing up.

I am looking for a swim ladder for my 41' Ketch. I need one that makes it
easy for someone with limited arm strength. The current ladder does not
project far enough into the water thus forcing the person to pull herself
up
with arm strength.

Where would be a good place to look for good boarding/swim ladders?

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

TIA

Vic

http://www.mysticstainless.com/ and http://www.topsinquality.com/ make
nice custom side boarding ladders. For something cheaper, Windline
makes a removable side boarding ladder for West Marine sku # 5497094
Page 755 '04 catalog. I have the West Marine product and find it much
more convenient than my stern ladder.
