Safety going to the bow

[OffIslander]

We just bought a 2026 R-25 for launch next Spring. My wife and I have downsized from boats with wide side decks and rails that go back to the cockpit. My wife, who usually, goes to the bow for line handling while tying up, is not too keen about walking on the "ledge" to get to the bow. We are reasonably fit but 80 years old. Have any of your customers come up with something that might give her more confidence, other than using a sling harness and a carabiner?

I’m not aware of anything that has been added to the boats for easier access to the bow. You might try posting this on the general forums to see what other owners have done.
