Cherub. ladder dimensions?

[Mark]

Can anyone help me with the dimensions of a Cherub. 25' 1976 ladder for entrance to the cabin? Or does anyone know of a manufacturer that could build one for me? Any help appreciated. I'm rebuilding a Cherub., have installed a new ignition switch, formica'd the fold-out table and galley, buffed all stainless steel and buffed toe rail. I rebuilt my bow plant with Marine-Tex believe it or not (came out great!), prepared my hull for painting using gelcoat repair and Marine Tex, took me three weeks but it was near to perfect, painted the above-the-waterline poprtion of the hull navy blue, replaced the waterline stripe and stripe to the eye (light) of the boat, sealed all portholes, having diesel inboard repaired by expert, will replace all thru-hulls, ordered and will recieve in a few days a new tiller arm and bracket (original specifications by Hunter chandlery), have removed hull-liner and insulation, will be replacing with insulation and indoor/outdoor carpet, having my brother bend back my bent pulpit, have 3m 5200'd the space in my keel to hull then I Marine-Tex'd over the 5200 and tightened the keel bolts, have de-oxide'd the electrical board, have installed a solar battery recharger, next I will be sanding down the anti-fouling paint (agh!) and then repainting the anti-fouling (I hope I live), need to replace the automatic bilge pump, want to (someday) teak the cockpit and cabin floors, need to install sophisticated electronics, (my family will be sailing with me, they depend on me and I don't want to take chances) and I will be purchasing a Walker Bay dinghy which I will tow behind, please pray for me that I will actually sail by the end of summer!Best regards,Mark

We would love to see your "new" boat. Many of us have been through this and know how much work you have done. And still have to do!A good vacuum sander will make the bottom job go much easier and faster. You can rent the industrial strength variety. I use a shopvac connected to my orbital sander. You still require eye and breathing protection.You might consider a barrier coat after you get the bottom down to clean gelcoat. It is cheap insurance against future blistering. Conventional wisdom thinks that if you don't have blisters now then you never will. But I like the idea that water can never penetrate the gelcoat. And it makes a really good base for the anti-fouling. I used five coats of Interlux 2000E. Good luck with you project.
