Are those mast steps on your mast? If so, are

Yep. Still not easy to climb.

About $ 16 a piece. Aluminum. I wished I'd spaced them closer

bottom. They get closer together and easier to climb as you go
up.

Congats, Don.
Welcome to the world of Irwins.
I don't know if you've found these groups yet so here's the

With an 38' you may not have to upgrade later for blue water.
We trailer sail our Irwin 28' out of Boise, ID. Jim
