Only thing I can recommend is run a cable down toe out side corners of steps on
each side of last. This will help prevent lines from getting tangles in the
steps. Doug Mountjoy Sv Rebecca Leah LH39Port Orchard YC wa.

Stus-List Mast Wedge Help I had my C&C 30 MK1 dismasted yesterday to do some
work on it. The boat came with no wedges in the deck collar, so I made some
one day, just to get through summer. While taking down the mast yesterday, I
asked the rigger what kind of wedges it should have. He said he wasn’t sure
whether C&Cs came with wedges, or a metal spacer. Does anybody know what the
factory used to support the mast through the deck?Also, while I am at it. Any
suggestions on anything I should be checking on the mast? I’m replacing the
wiring, going to LED lights, replacing all of the running rigging, new blocks
and sheaves, and checking out the step. The boom has the internal blocks and
wire for tensioning the foot of the main, but I don’t know whether that is
accessible for maintenance or not. One last thing. I was planning to mount
steps (the triangular aluminum ones) on the sides of the mast. The rigger
recommended against it because of the number of holes in the mast. Anybody
have thought on whether a series of small holes (1/8, 3/16??) would weaken the
mast?Thanks,Steve
