Has anyone fitted any extra grab rails near the wheels yet? If so, where and do you have any pictures?

Many Thanks

A bit late in this reply, but yes. Solid and sturdy grabrails were offered as an option to be fitted in the UK by Inspiration Marine. I sailed on the boat on the delivery trip from Greifswald to the Hamble and there is simply no comparison in the convenience and safety these grabrails have given us. Frankly this should be a standard fitting.
I have pictures but do not know how to attach these to my posts!

They certainly are. We also had grabrails fitted alongside the companion way. Certainly makes things easier and safer when going down.
