Russ,

SuperStar had this modification done when the boat was new in '81.  It works
out great not to have the crossbar, and an additional benefit is that if you
are hit (it's happened more than once, racing), you only have to replace 1/2
the pushpit.  If you would like, I will email some photos.

My boat has a stern ladder, but no opening in the aft railing.  Having to
climb over the railing makes it pretty tough to get back aboard. I was
thinking of cutting an opening in the rail and then using sections of
stainless tube and the necessary fittings to create an opening similar to
what I have seen in pictures of other C-38's.  Has anyone done this before?
Are there any cons to doing this?  Also, if I do make this mod, should I cut
out both horizontal sections so that you can just step right in, or should I
leave the middle horizontal piece like I see in the pics?

Thanks again!
