Sail step

Does anyone know of a secure step that attaches to the rail of a 95 Catalina 36 allowing crew to have less of a step down to the dock when docking.  Sailstep.com has one but it only attaches to a metal toe rail.  Thanks

I use Dan-Fenders  fender step  -- http://www.danfender.com/SEEEMS/1015.asp

I have the single  step - but a lot depends on the height of your dock.

Thanks Les.  How do you feel about the safety factor when docking and jumping FORWARD to the dock while coming in.  Does it present a stable platform?  If not there must be a stable step out there adaptable to our boats.  Thanks, Bill

Very stable. I'm over weight for these steps and still find they work really well
