ISO Pace-Edwards Mast Steps


Several places where this has appeared have generated offers of looking in
salvage stores, but have no idea of what they look like, making a quickie
look around a bit challenging.

So, I have put up pix of my single step for perusal. You can find them by
clicking on my gallery in my signature, and then the obvious link into the
section dealing with this need.

This is the photo link:

Seems like it would be easy enough to fabricate something like that
out of aluminum flat bar. Appearance isn't that big an issue at the
top of the mast, and neither is strength since you should be in a seat
harness or bosuns chair anyway.

Those things are sail rippers and halyard grabbers of course.



Yes, they are a piece of ****. But, they will be right at home on Flying
Pig. Real sailors such as myself will be able to see from a long ways off an
example of how not to fit out a sailboat
