The steps take up 24 inches wide and 30 inches deep and rise 60 inches (2 ft × 2.5 ft footprint, 5 ft rise). Place them where the cabin opens to the cockpit, with the top of the steps toward the hatch.

Where it works

Sailboat and cruiser cabins; also works as a steep ship's ladder in a loft or tiny home. Find it under RV & Boat on the RV & Boat tab, or search "companionway" or "boat steps".
