[C320-list] C320 MKII

I was told by two dealers that it was required by new European safety
standards. Supposedly you have to be able to deploy it from the water in
case you fall in. They also say it is to make entry from the dock easy when
stern in. I've had both ladders and find the old style much more comfortable
but the new style's benefits are also nice. Of course the best answer is a
wide solid ladder like the old style that deploys like the new style.

What's up with the cheap stern boarding ladder on the new boats? Even the
C375 has it and they don't seam to be very user friendly.
