Paddle Float for Self Rescue

I sail a kayak but it's not a Hobie much as I love the Islanders. My winter time project is making a rope ladder I can use to leave the kayak and step down into the water with and the same token, climb back in. I keep my mask and fins and snorkel under my rear bungees on the rear deck and this ladder would allow me to beach independent for some good snorkeling. That's my plan - its easy enough and when it's not in use it'd wrap neatly around the aka! A decent anchor here is needed of course.

With a trimaran configuration exit and entry neednt be an uncomfortable monohull affaire. Some lead sinkers at the ladders end would hold it down. Some Velcro strap would keep it snugly wrapped.

Glad if I contributed and thanks for the agreement.

Or if you are hobieing it perhaps an evolve or a mirage drive rather than another paddle?
