    36C Mast step

    Has anybody replaced the Mast step on the 36C, or others if the same. We have a steel I beam that the mast sets on, about 6 inch tall that must be set on top of the keel and then glassed in. Why did they use steel, was the mast rig too short by 6 inches,... Thanks in advance Jon Libby :egrin:

    bilge filth

    Olson 34 Mast Step Construction

    Hello All, I have an Olson 34 and am wondering about the mast step construction technique. I spoke with Ballenger (spars) about this and they indicated this was a very thick fiberglass hat tied into the bulk head. What he wasn't quite sure of was if the structure was foam filled or wood. It...
