I use the outside the hull grab the trap line method. At 285 with a bad shoulder I needed to find a better way than the front cross bar. I have my crew go onto the hull as the boat comes up then slide under the windward hull. Keeping the righting line in hand. Grab the trap handle , feet to the rear cross bar, a short pull and im back aboard. The advantage is if the boat begins to power up I'l close enough to the tiller to turn it back into the wind.
