Yikes! ?$409 for a step?
I have a boarding step made from a 6¡± x 16¡± piece of oak suspended by 5/16¡± line. I added a piece of vinyl weather stripping on the edge that sits against the hull and rounded over the outer edge and varnished. Total cost about $20. Works well and easy to stow between the stanchion and the toe rail.

If you're coming?on and off a dinghy?you should try one of these first, I find that my ladder really is best for coming in and out of the water and not off a dinghy.
I have one of these.? It's wonderful.? Slides back on the toe
rail track and is completely out of the way when not in use.? It
does, however, have to be carefully fitted to the boat so the two
supports are the appropriate lengths.
