I cruised for years with a store bought aluminium ladder with plywood hooks fitted to the top to go over the toe rail and two
legs to hold it off the hull lower down It proved to be more comfortable to bare feet than the stainless one and we stored it
along the rail when not in use It was long enough to extend into the water half a metre or so




Funny You said this. When i was in Bunnings I say these -

sydneytools.com.au/climbrite-climp8step-multi-purpose-8-step-aluminium-ladder?fee=4&fep=12146&gclid=CjwKEAiAoOvEBRDD25uyu9Lg9ycSJAD0cnBy8A5VnBPWjP5Gb7hdOpI4A_bybR4_pvdrai9EM7Py2BoClA_w_wcB

Fold out 3/4 of it straight, have the top 1/4 folded down so that it sits behind the toe rail, and fix to legs as you have said. This even gives you some ladder above the deck to hold onto.

Fold up and store below.



Dunno bout that one.
Ladders that hook over the side usually have some supports that connect with hull. This would be hanging.


"and two
legs to hold it off the hull lower down"

Sam, looks like you had to reposition the previous ladder up a little to fit the new one.Yes/No?


Yes that's correct GK. But no problem, everything was easy to reach. really happy with the result.
