IMG_9761.jpegMy 60” tall ladder requires replacement, whom makes these for all the Old boats? A supplier for the manufacturer? Where could I salvage one? Any info appreciated.
20” wide, 1”x4” teak material, 60” overall length.

You could try a local woodworker or maybe a cabinet shop. If they can’t do it for you they may have a name of someone who can help

Most likely that ladder was made in-house by the boat builder in their cabinet shop

So if you want the same, fire up the wood working tools

If you go forward with teak...... Google teak oil

Thanks guys I’ve been trying to source the teak or mahogany 62” stringers I’ve got the wood for the treads, found a local woodworker fella. Very pricey, I may have to go S/S or Aluminium but I’ll try to stay original.

Not sure where in Vancouver, but there are a few sailboat manufacturers there. Worth a call to see where they get it

is it totally rotted or bad cracks in it? I’ve repaired some that were in a bit of rough shape. As long as you can snug up the screws, if not drill out where the screws go and put in dowels and re-attach. I’ve gently pressure washed it and it comes out fairly good, and a bit of sanding.
Edit: after zooming in I do see the damage. I believe it an be still fixed by a good woodworker, but it’s a stretch.

What about building an epoxy box for a pour and then milling out? Could be a fun look and would fill the voids. I like my epoxy black but since on a boat maybe a water blue?
