Nope. Each step is 9.1" high and the treads are 8". But this is a ladder, not a staircase.

A staircase would bonk head on coamings and bulkhead.

Standing room is 6' under the deck. 6'4" at the bottom of the ladder, 5' at the bulkhead.

Small boat and I already made it bigger than plan.

Constraints..

I have like 40 hours into waffling over the design. And I know about stair rules. To make a close to legit stairs would mean 5' of head clearance at the coaming...just not space for it.

This was the best plan, a super safe ladder.

Single bunk for me for nights when Jen has a couple extra. She snores if she drinks!

Needs fairing and paint, but this landing is the last structural item; the landing is plywood on the beam socket.

And the blackwater tank and raw water intake is in the starboard cabin.

Bunk is 74" long and I might add a pillow rest on the other side of the BH. Actually a decent space and four windows.
