[C320-list] Boarding Ladder

[Bruce Stanley]

could the non riveting also be related to the C320 MkI manufacturing being
switched to Florida?
I owned #1084 ... parts of the finished boat nearly broke my heart! and the
after service (in Sydney Australia) convinced me not to buy NEW again.
So I proudly now own a 2006 C36 and I am all smiles.
