What are others doing to make it easy to get dogs (and people) on board when not beside a dock?  Getting our 60 pound dog off and on the boat during a camping trip is a particular concern.On the Mana the mizzen mast on the aft crossbeam and the mizzen sail and its lines aft of that create a lot of "busy-ness" in that area. Any suggestions out there? photos of swim ladder arrangements on Tiki 21s? Other options?

Hei Matau is for sale. I am selling because my crew has mutinied over the lack of a "proper" head and galley. I personally love the spartan accommodations of the Tiki 26, but sailing without my crew is too lonely.

I really like the Tiki 38 and trying to figure out if I would fit inside the cabin area. At 6'6" I am trying to get an idea if the T38 is big enough as is or could it be modified to accommodate a tall person.  Does anyone have the dimensions of the headroom in a T38 Cabin?
