Hi all
I have a Nordic Tug 37 (2003) that was built and set up with the dinghy on weaver davits off the swimstep rather than atop the aft cabin with a crane.
I like this setup as I use the upper deck for a seating area and also as a piloting place - (wireless remote control to the autopilot and navionics up there.)
HOWEVER - the stainless steel railings that were installed up there are much lower than "normal" height and they don't feel safe for the way I like to use that upper deck. I don't have measurements with me but they come midway between knee and waist height.
My 2008 NT32 had much higher railings (~36 inches) up there that DID feel safe.
Any suggestions on how to address this? Can I have another row of stainless added somehow? Other options? Crowdsourcing for wisdom.
Thanks
Don
