CD 30 cutter mast step height

Post by Joe Sankey »

I measured the step height (distance it goes into mast) before stepping; misplaced my note. I recall a number just under 2" to the flange that attaches to the coachroof. If anyone is still not stepped, I'd appreciate some confirmation. Thanks.

Joe,
We are still not in the water (!!), thus unstepped. I can measure the step height for you this weekend and report back Sunday night if that would help.
I do believe it to be near 2 in. though. How accurate do you need to be?

Thanks, Larry: I am going to install a mast ring at the aft base of the mast for vang and reefing blocks, as I had on my 28. I just want to be sure that the lower machine screws clear the step. A "less than" measurement would be fine. Thanks again.
