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 > On Oct 4, 2018, at 12:16 PM, ALAN BERGEN <[email protected]> wrote: > > When I took mine apat, I don't remember whether they were glued (I don't > think so), but they came apart pretty easily.
