boarding ladder steps

The Cal 31 has a pivoting boarding ladder mounted on the transom. The tubing hurts the feet of us old, overweight guys. I looked in Google for "boarding ladder steps" and came up with a product called Sole Savers at http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detail.htm?fno=400 <http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detail.htm?fno=400&cart=114953892712725649&g roup=480> &cart=114953892712725649&group=480 . The photos show a very similar ladder. Sole Savers were designed for Catalinas in lengths of 30, 34, and 36 in model years 1980-1989. Does anyone know if these will fit the Cal 31? I hope to get down to my boat tomorrow to take some measurements. Harleigh Ewell

Further Googling for Sole Savers turned up the manufacturer, and an inquiry to them disclosed that they will make them to order if you give them the distance between the uprights and the center to center distance of the posts that hold the pivots. I ordered a set today.

I'm also open to volunteers with sandpaper. Dinko's Yard Saturday morning. Unlimited beer and sandwiches plus Cal 40 sailing once we finally get it put together. My kids all seem to have discovered other priorities. I'll need crew including crew for Catalina. All offers seriously considered. Mike Kennedy Conquest Cal 40 # 96
