Greetings,

I have come across Stanchions ( 30") @ a good price and was thinking of adding some to Kuan Yin.

West Marine has some that are 25 " and are listed for a 40ft plus boat.

So 30" for a Ariel seems somewhat much using WM's gauge.

Anyone have opions on adding Stanchions... pro/cons.
helpful - in the way - a pain- lifesaver??

Seems like it would be harder to launch and dock getting on deck...on the other hand it is not fun going forward with nothing to hold on to...
