This step is useful to get up high enough to open the rope clutch when dowsing the chute and to tidy up the main when dropping it. Bob |

Bob,
I just ordered 2 of those same steps and will install them shortly. Did you use screws? Aluminum ir stainless? I'm going to use "riv nuts" or "rivit nuts" a compression fitting that is available in both aluminum and stainless. Alan |

Scarab, It's a very popular product available from several distributers. I believe it is made in the far east then sold by many companies. Here is a website from the UK who sells them: http://www.mastwalker.com/mastwalker.html Bob |

Silversailor - Alan, I put the same type of step on my 371. I drilled and tapped the mast to accept stainless steel machine screws. Then used teff-gel to provide the isolation of the dissimilar metals (i.e. to prevent galvanic corrosion of the mast). Tom H. |

Hanse UK in the Hamble supplied my steps - identical to the picture. Something else for your online shop Dominic? |
