Backside-up Easy Boarding: Float under to the back of the cat because it is much lower. The rudders are pushed sideways anyway to stall the boat- so hold them that way! Get inside the tiller crossbar up close to the rear beam to grab a hiking strap. Now get one foot up onto the hull- BEHIND you, as these leg muscles are often stronger. Combine the leg lift with your hiking strap arm to lever yourself onboard- and note your boat arm is now bending the CORRECT way so you can pull yourself over the rear crossbar with biceps.
With your backside UP, you don't have to get your butt so high up this way. Now I'm gonna make my wife try this. HAhahaha
Maybe this needs a video clip- anybody?
