Boarding Ladders

I found this one to be Great!  Because I single hand I need something that can be deployed from the water. There is a piece

of Dynema line attached to the ladder that floats on the surface and I can pull that to deploy. Being short, I could use another step

on the top but it is quite doable still.  One can have it deploy on either side and it can can be switched. I also had a pin made for

the pivot point so that I can lock it in place if I want to. It has a tendency to swing and if you are not aware of that it can be a surprise.

It has served me

well.  They are an option on Valentes now. Any stainless steel guy can make one with a picture I am sure. Sergio Gallinda made this one.

Smooth sailing, Crit

PS I usually have the life line above the ladder (picture # 2).  This was for a photo op and I didn’t notice till now! Not good the way

it is in the picture! (Ha)

Scupper Drain Grate Removal?

John Baudendistel <jo...@ets247.com>: Feb 05 07:08PM -0800 Rob,   Can you take some photos of your project and provide some prep details. What kind of paint is your preference and why? I have some areas I may consider, however my topsides are teak and gel coat currently. The teak decks have been refurbished, re-calked, seamed, planks replaced etc. It makes the top side cabin house show their age! 2 part LPU? or? New non-skid epoxied down? Paint in between?   Thanks,   John B. Dream Keeper P42.     -- Thanks,   John Baudendistel jo...@ets247.com

Rob Raymond <wind...@gmail.com>: Feb 05 08:10PM -0800 We're planning to keep the teak side decks as well, and the existing non-skid on the cabin top. Everything that can come off is coming off before we paint.   For paint we thought we'd use Interlux Perfection because it seems to be the most readily available in Canada and the DIY procedures are well documented, I've worked with gel coat but not 2 part PU. The colour choices aren't that great. We want to do a 2 tone deck with darker non skid, but the grey (silver?) may be a little dark. It would be nice to get some input on colour.   I don't really have any good project pictures, just pictures of individual pieces to aid in re-assembly.   On Thursday, 5 February 2015 19:08:14 UTC-8, john wrote:

John Baudendistel <jo...@ets247.com>: Feb 05 08:18PM -0800 Rob,   Hi. We have the patterned non-skid which was in the 42 hull mold. 10+ years ago we had it taped off repaired and filled where necessary. Then put down 2 coats of awlgrig primer then 2 coats of a hmmm light grey. At the time I thought it was medium. Many choices. The grey cuts down on the glare. It was rolled on with a foam epoxy roller. Collie island boat works did the job back then. If I were to redo it I would do it the exact same way.   John   John Baudendistel Jo...@ets247.com

John Baudendistel <jo...@ets247.com>: Feb 05 08:20PM -0800 So on color ours is light very non skid. Original gel coat white.   John Baudendistel Jo...@ets247.com

psherwood <p...@witanco.com>: Feb 05 09:12PM -0800 When I removed my teak decking I put down light gray non-skid (KiwiGrip). Works well -- doesn't heat up like teak or a dark color, doesn't produce dazzling glare like white.   Phil s/v Cynosure San Carlos / Seattle   On 2/5/2015 20:10, Rob Raymond wrote:

Boarding Ladder Recommendations

John Wither <jpwi...@bigpond.com>: Feb 06 01:49PM +1100 Tim, I have a folding ladder that fits on either side of the boat. It fits into two brackets (small) on the deck, over the cap rail and into the water. There are two struts that fold out that hold the ladder off the hull. It had flat steps so no sore feet climbing out. I am away at present and can send photo's in two weeks if you wish.   Regards   John wither Perth, Aussie   Sent from my iPad

Rob Raymond <wind...@gmail.com>: Feb 05 07:50PM -0800 It would be nice if there was something "off the shelf" that would work as a mid-ships boarding ladder for our P40s. Perhaps if enough of us got together for an order, we could get something made semi-custom... assuming all the gunwales on our boats are the same. Our boat didn't come with a ladder, it was stolen from a boat yard before we bought the boat, so we're also in the market.   On Thursday, 5 February 2015 18:49:26 UTC-8, Dibble wrote:

Looking for traveler end

Rob Raymond <wind...@gmail.com>: Feb 05 05:02PM -0800 Eric, that would be excellent! Since we are also in the Lower Mainland (we're currently on the hard at Shelter Island) I could pick it up when you have it off the boat. With all the other work we're doing to the boat, I'd rather not deal with a new traveler system right now.   On Thursday, 5 February 2015 16:42:21 UTC-8, Eric Schnabel wrote:

Jim Melton <Shelt...@xmission.com>: Feb 05 06:06PM -0700 We also recently replaced our traveler with a Garhauer. Aside from the absurdly tedious necessity of drilling out every single machine screw that held the old traveler down (due to galling and/or galvanic corrosion), the process was awesomely simple and quick.   Once I had drilled out all those screws, I removed the old traveler, popped it into a heavy-duty UPS box, and shipped it to Garhauer. About a week later, I got a UPS shipment from them and, within an hour, had the new traveler installed. Well, except...   Garhauer had custom-drilled all of the holes to align with those in the old traveler. The kink was that the traveler cars were slightly too wide for the place where the traveler screw holes were and the cars jammed against the "lip" immediately forward of the companionway hatch. I immediately (it's still less than two hours after UPS delivered the package to me) phoned Garhauer. They promise to ship me new cars immediately and I could ship the old cars back to them at my leisure. Two days later, the new cars arrived, I installed them without trouble, and later shipped the old cars back.   I am tremendously impressed with Garhauer, with their hardware, and with their service.   Highly recommended! Jim   P.S., Works a treat, too!   On 2015-02-05 16:58, ddockrat wrote:   ----- Message truncated -----   ================ Jim Melton & Barbara Edelberg "Dream SeQueL" 1982 Passport 40, hull# 18 http://DreamSeQueL.com "BOAT: Break Out Another Thousand"

Could you provide a bunch of details photos of your swinging boarding ladder? Like to consider this option!
