CD 28 Sailboat COMPANION WAY STEPS

Post by Pete »

Hello all:

l) Would like to hear from anyone who has made modifications
or improvements to the companion way step arrangement on
their 28. It has always been a bit of a wrestle to get our steps in
and out. But now, after a repair person visited the boat,
we find the steps "fallen in" resting on the engine because the
piece of wood that the starboard side (icebox side) sliding latches
fits into has been separated from the supporting piece to starboard.
The screws pulled out. We could replace the screws with
longer screws and reinforce the starboard area somehow.

Has anyone ever changed over to another arrangement such as
drop-in or hinges??
