Sabre 28: Mast steps update

 A facebook page I follow is Classic Plastic: Vintage Fiberglass Boats.

A week ago I posted a photo of my steps and got a good bit of blowback on the weight.  At first posters though they were stainless steel.  Once I assured them they were aluminum,  I began to consider how to lighten them a bit.

I ended up drilling them and filing down the profile slightly.  I also bent the flanges to match the mast profile.  I am happy with the change.  One of the few times I have taken criticism well!  Here is a photo.
