| Odd composite mast step..... 34' sloop displ. 5000kg RM =? I am replacing my mast step during a rebuild. The old timber one measured 1.5m x 50mm x 200mm. The old one contributed to edge glued strip plank delam in the slam zone. (and too much back stay tension for stiff non-tapered mast xsection) Would it be approriate to build one same dimensions, but with a 8mm stainless plate glued & heavily screwed to the top and bottom face? Would it be too stiff? I could substitute uni kevlar on bottom face. Anyone got any references for mast steps? Thanks. Last edited by Roly : 02-27-2008 at 07:06 PM.  |
