I used a total of ½" aluminum on mine when I rebuilt it. It looks about 20 times stronger than the original was too.

The 33-2 is similar in stability to my 35 mk-1(check diagram in the Technical Info on Stu's CNC site). I put the load at about 10,000 lbs, so building for 12 - 15,000 lbs is not a unreasonable. If you're going with aluminum only then I would spec it at 20,000 for a 50% corrosion allowance and say, "I expect this to last another 20 years." BTW, check with Rich Knowles on my credentials, if in doubt. :) Hi Rich, we miss you on the Left Coast. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 03:15 AM 26/06/2017, you wrote: Does anyone know what the maximum load would be on the mast step of the 33? I'm trying to figure out the psi force for a rebuild Thanks!
