If people are that worried about climbing a ladder then maybe thay should get fitter

Not laziness at all,lifts are great, but there's always (or should be) help in getting up a ladder, and if need be, ditch kit, tie it and haul later. Only used a lift once and it made me smile all day!

No offence intended, but if it was this boat I saw at the Peverill Buoy on Wednesday night then you seriously need to get an A-flag.
