Is it allowed to remove the "extra" stanchion and stanchion brace on the starboard side that creates the gate?

Yes, the gate is considered an option and you are permitted to remove it. Of course you still need to comply with rule 5.4.2.2 concerning the lifelines.

Has anyone ever asked J if they shipped any J30s without gates?
