Often the old argument of dry suits, death trousers and such comes into play so the subject gets put to bed.
Basically, the way i see it.. A ladder is the best option for many, Lots of folk have the ladders, but i've yet to see one on display whilst folk are on their sibs/fribs/ribs!
You can in an emergency use the outboard plate but the lack of room to actually board over the transom does make it difficult for most folk... My launch wheels very quickly and easily drop down, I then have plenty boarding room and extra footings on the launch wheel arm.
I don't wear a dry suit, so i'd suffer very quickly from cold water shock unless i frame myself... So it's practice and act fast or expect the worst!!
