[quote=Quarath]I actually looked at that ladder in a West marine store the other day and I don't think it mounts the way you are saying it does. The pictures on the pack show the 2 brackets mounting to the top of a deck then the ladder lays flat on the when collapsed but to use you swing up out and down then it is supported by the brackets and ready to use. It did not look like it would work the way you are suggesting.
I like the idea of a little extra lift action perhaps a sling step like

combined with a 5:1 pully system. You could rig it off the front of teh mast and when not being use pull the system tight along the mast. You might have to install a separate mast hound on the front of the mast to hook it to.[/quote]
