I trust the C&C 32 has better stanchion bases than those
puny, unsupported bases on the Express. For one thing
the don't have a big enough footprint to be strong enough
and for another they dont have the necessary welded bale
that is necessary to strengthen them. They probably lack
the necessary large backing plate on the inside as well.

I take it back! This express has the added double lifelines, though only in the
center! I guess nobody could fall off anywhere else!
On the C&C, the stanchion bases are clear of the deck and walkways. Note the
toe stubbing stanchion bases of the Express. Not exactly a sailors boat, now is
it?
