ABSTRACT:
An improved handle for assisting in boarding or disembarking a water vessel such as a boat or power boat, particularly when such vessel is docked. The handle is pivotally secured to the dock so as to preferably swing from a position substantially vertical to the dock to a position substantially horizontal thereto, and reversely. Further, the handle, in one embodiment, is releasably secured to the dock at the pivot point so that it can be removed for storage when not in use. In another embodiment the handle includes a shaft comprised of a plurality of sections which slide with respect to one another and which are releasably secured to one another so that the hand-gripping portion can be removed for storage when not in use. Yet another embodiment of the invention features a handle which is releasably locked in the substantially vertical position to provide support for a user boarding or disembarking the water vessel.
