Default Ladders

I recently posted a recommendation to anchor from the bow, not the stern. That is a nice ladder on the video of the 32'. But wonder about its usefulness. Right after taking delivery of my 20' Seafari in '76, Bushwacker and I made transom mounted swim platforms together. Many years later when some of my guests needed it I added a 3 step telescoping ladder to the platform. However, I modified it to mount it underneath the platform out of the way. The platform is supported with 1/2" dock line. Recently added some heavy shock chord to keep the aft end of the platform tipped up a bit, which stretches when you load it up. Guess it's an example of how configurations evolve based on changing needs.
