[alberg30] Mast steps

[Charles Haggart]

From: "Charles Haggart" <chaggart at sympatico.ca>

Lee: The mast steps were on the boat when I got her. Included in the ton of
paper I got with the boat is a single sheet  of paper (dated May 30 1981)
describing the "ARIMA" mast steps in all their glory. They are made from
Aluminium Alloy 6061-T6 ( what ever the hell that is) and cost ( in 1981
dollars) $ 5.25. They are fastened with 316 ss round head 10-24 screws. I
assume they have been on the boat for 18 years and they show no signs of
wear. I have used them a dozen times so far this season alone to check
things out. I am happy that they are there and I can understand their
usefulness on an extended cruise.

Hi Charles,
You mention mast steps in your last post;
Did you put them on yourself?  If so, what brand were they, how did you
fasten them, and would you recommend them?
Thx,
Lee
