A photo of one of my 42 Custom sister ships shows a completely different stair 
arrangement than on my boat.  My boat has steep stairs similar to a 34 (but 
better).  The sister ship stairs are integral to a drawer cabinet that sits in 
front of the engine access panel.  They look less steep, but it must be more 
difficult to access the engine.

Alan, 

I have the same problem (stairs too steep) on my LF 38 and was thinking or 
building new stairs completely (father in law has a professional shop with all 
the woodworking tools). Was thinking of building something more modern like the 
Beneteau where the sides of the stairs curve up, and having metal grab rails. I 
drew out the plans but it is an intensive project for 4-6 steps.

Your suggestion seems elegant and straight forward. Can you share a picture of 
the finished product?

/John

  When I took mine apat, I don't remember whether they were glued (I don't 
think so), but they came apart pretty easily. I found the stairs too steep, so 
I split the sides down the middle, added a piece of 1 x 6 teak in between them, 
glued the pieces together using biscuits, and extended the dados through the 
piece that I added. It's now a lot more comfortable going up and down the 
stairs. I finished the stairs with Watco teak oil, and added Treadmaster to 
make the steps less slippery.
