One of the Q improvements we wanted to make from Day 1… was to change the wire stern gates into solid gates. The goal was to provide more support for the helmsman to hang onto. Both levels of gate were stainless wire (like the bottom one pictured).
We asked our rigger for suggestions. His suggestion was to buy a piece of PVC plumbing pipe to cover the wire.
Perfect! problem solved for less than $2.
'Q' and Ehh!
