Hello friends,
So we have two large dogs: Ed, a 95 lb chocolate lab/rottweiler mix and Tula, an 80 lb Treeing Walker Coonhound.(Pic below)
They are learning to love sailing - though our E27 gets a little crowded with them on board. My question is, does anyone have large dogs for whom they have devised a kinder gentler way to enter and exit the cabin? Ed is 10 and occasionally he'll just give up on the ladder and jump and I know that's a severe injury waiting to happen. Tula is younger and more agile and has more or less figured out how to go up and down the ladder.
We were thinking maybe a folding ramp of some kind? I haven't been able to find anything online, I'm hoping one of you creative boaters has an idea?
Many thanks!!
