I just sold my S2 9.1, but a few years ago I had to replace the mast
step. We replaced it with Southern Yellow Pine which I was told would
last longer than the mahogany. We glassed the new step in for
considerably less than $2,500. Frankly, despite the good quality from
S2, the new step is far superior to the original.

Is this a common S2 problem? What instigated the replacement?

-thanks


In the case of my S2 8.5, it is simply old age. Water had leaked
around the VHF cable feedthrough over the years allowing the
horizontal support to rot.
