    Thank you Australia for this important one hand sailor tip. 460s do not have those righting lines. Not in Germany ;) And what a great ladder! I will build this ladder the same way. Thank you.

    Any tips for staying on the boat? What if I fall out of the boat without it capsizing?

      A leash,like you wear on a surfboard.🤔
      That’s a good reason to wear a hi vis PFD and a epirb if you go remote in the wet outback.
      Usually the cat capsizing shortly after you fell off , considering there’s a stiff breeze.
      It happened to me 🤪
      Hanging onto the main sheet , dragging behind until the cat flipped over.
      Standard procedure from there to righten the cat and go harder and pay closer attention.
      Try not to move like a sloth 🦥🫢
      No risk,no fun😎🤙🏼

    At 4:39, I don't see any staybold tension ropes connecting the dolphin striker to the frame (# 42025). Won't the cat be unstable?

      That is the way dolphin strikers use to be,and it’s never been a problem.
      Unless you are exposing them to forces,their not designed to be exposed.
      It’s certainly worth taking care when you handle the boat or use it as step to get on the tramp after a capsicum 😉🤙🏻

    Thanks for the video! Could I ask how long of a line/rope did you buy for the righting line/rope? I was going to buy one for each hull and do the same thing.

      All 420 MiniCat‘s have those righting lines attached 🤙🏻

    Love the ladder idea but what about if you have the additional front trampoline ?

      You can unclip the strap to the frame on one side or climb back on deck over the windward side.The ladder can also hang off the side.
