Tim...I have that and want to add gates. With our (well at least mine anyway) boats prominent "hips", getting off at docks or while rafting is a challenge.
May still keep the aft pelican hook to keep flexibility though. David F.

From: cnc-list@cnc-list.com CC: timg...@gmail.com Hi Mike, I've seen other Frers 33's that detach the rear end of their lifelines to create a large "gate" into the cockpit. That would mean replacing the end fitting with a pelican hook (and presumably shortening the wire). The gate isn't then at maximum beam, but it's not bad, and you can adjust the dock lines to make it better for boarding and it should mean little modification.

Two changes I am considering is adding a gate on either side and a cutout in the top rail on pushpit . Adding a gate on the side would require a base, a stanchion and lifeline work. A cutout for stern ladder on pushpit would likely require top and bottom fittings to add a vertical support either side of ladder opening and a short section of detachable lifeline as a gate on the top rail. Has anybody made these changes and what about a hint at the cost or better ways to do this? Currently swim ladder is a very long climb up the reverse transom and then over the double stern pushpit rails. The side is not so bad as is not a high freeboard but for elderly guests or four legged friends is a bit daunting in current setup.
