Hi Mike, I've seen other Frers 33's that detach the rear end of their lifelines to create a large "gate" into the cockpit. That would mean replacing the end fitting with a pelican hook (and presumably shortening the wire). The gate isn't then at maximum beam, but it's not bad, and you can adjust the dock lines to make it better for boarding and it should mean little modification.
