I have to clamber back into the boat with a stirrup. I often find, with boats other than mine, that I still tip the boats to the point of taking on water as I step up. I try to do it quickly but that isn't always possible. Bringing the end of the paddle closer to the boat limits the tipping BUT puts more pressure on the paddle.
