Speaking of boarding ladders, I am still looking for a knot that could be
easily untied from the water if I fall overboard and I am alone.
For now the ladder is held in it's up position with a velcro band tied to the
stern pulpit but I would prefer a small line.
Any knot would fill that function?

Doubt a boarding ladder would stay together, dunking for hours in those seas.
Probably rip itself loose and float away.
The sailboat looks like a heavy displacement 50 footer and the seas to roll
that big a boat look to be 6 feet or better with high winds.
Touching the inflatable against the hull could flip it, as the bigger boat
rolls so violently.
I wouldn't want to have to climb aboard and definitely wouldn't want to stay
aboard as it's got to be a mess inside, and you could get banged up easily.
Boarding ladders are essential equipment on any boat

I'm with you Colin. Amidships with timing or for chickens, at the stern
where the relative water level remains remarkably constant on a well
designed boat.
It looks to me like the biggest problem here was poor boatmanship. One of
the things a d'flatable does really well is to act like a tug boat. Push
the bow into the topsides amidships and give the lad a stable platform
for two seconds so he can leap & glory, especially if timed with
contact at the trough.. Don't bring the rubber duck alongside in that
crap.
At least the water is warm.
Cheers,

I'm not convinced a boarding

to a pitching boat, do it amidships, time your "leap" for when
the boat rolls toward you, grab a stanchion in both hands, and then don't
let go!
