VERY familiar.

I run a heavy, somewhat stretchy dock line from the rear cross bar to the bridle. Then when trying to get aboard, I just put a KNEE on the line and using my hands on the hull just fall forward onto the hull, then it's a simple matter of rolling over into a sitting position. I use a small line tied around the forward cross bar to keep the larger line from dragging. Also, I've a few knots in the large line to keep my knee from sliding.

I emphasise KNEE because I tried for a year to use my foot and it just threw me off balance!
