I was knocked overboard while sailing our McGregor 26C. Calm water, light
wind. It was amazing how little there was to grab on to. Even once I had
a hold of the toe rail I still had difficulty getting my legs up.

We are having a little salt water intrusion on two of the ball valves

Does anyone have any plans that could be used to build a boarding ladder out of
wood or rope and wood? This has been on my project list for quite a while.

Any ideas on inspecting/repairing/maintaining the ball valve mounts? Seems
like they are embedded in the hull.

My C&C 25 came with a rope and plastic ladder. For whatever reason, everyone
found it difficult to use, I think because it would curl back under the hull
and didn’t provide firm footing. I changed to a stainless steel ladder fairly
quickly.

I'm not convinced a boarding ladder would have helped that dude. If you're
going from a dinghy to a pitching boat, do it amidships, time your "leap"
for when the boat rolls toward you, grab a stanchion in both hands, and
then don't let go!

Plastimo makes an emergency boarding ladder that you can tie to the toe rail.
It stores in a bag that is velcroed shut, with a
loop at the bottom that releases the ladder when you grab it. Not as easy to
climb as a steel ladder but more appropriate
amidships. I have one but I should have bought t
I made a boarding ladder out of Baltic birch, that can be taken apart in
seconds, and stowed under the cushions. It hangs low enough for boarding from a
dinghy, but not from the water.

Hi Folks,
I had a look at a C&C30 the other day, the mast step is of mild
concern. I thought I read that C&C replaced the wood with aluminium
fairly early in the production to prevent it rotting through. The mast
step appears to be a woody on this one, I am guessing this looks like a
rotter,
Paul. That looks like it needs to be replaced. It is exactly like the one in
my 1979 era C&C 30. Being full of water is not good either , That water
should drain into the bilge. The stringer below may be weak also. Have a
good survey before you buy. Just lower the price for the repair.

Looks a lot like mine and I'm in the act of replacing it. Did it once before,
but didn't seal the ends of the wood good enough with epoxy.Where are you
located? My wife wants to step down to a smaller boat?RonWild CheriC&C 30STL

Thanks Joe, I think the wood still felt solid, the mast boot has failed
which is why there is so much water in there (plus it's in Vancouver,
and it rains, a lot). Seems that replacement is more of a pain and messy
job than particularly difficult, plus the expense of pulling the mast.
