A compact emergency ladder for refits and smaller boats
The Magic-Reboard 9-step ladder packs against a stern rail, with a high-visibility release cord led down to the waterline. Pulling the cord opens the case so the person in the water can deploy the ladder without waiting for help from onboard.
Why choose the 9-step model?
- Nine semi-rigid rungs create a compact reboarding option for refits, dinghies, and smaller boats.
- At least four rungs are designed to remain below the surface when correctly installed.
- The rungs are spaced 30 cm (11.8 in) apart.
- The PVC-coated polyester case protects the packed ladder on deck.

Installation matters
Mount the case where the release cord can reach the water and where the ladder will deploy clear of the hull, rudder, propeller, and other obstructions. Test the complete deployment from the water before relying on it.
