Folding or not

by nick <hockeythumper@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jan 28, 2008 at 02:25 AM

Hi Guys.

After subjecting my poor mrs to winching me up the mast a couple of 
times in a bosun's chair (12.5 mtr mast & I weigh in at over 100kg) I'm 
thinking of fitting mast steps.  I've heard a few pro's and cons for 
folding and the triangular shaped rungs.  Triangular are supposedly 
better because your foot cant slip off the side in a seaway if you are 
unfortunate enough to have to be up there, but they have a tendency to 
snag halyards etc...   Folding steps rattle and so on.

Anyone got any experience with either that can add or substantiate these 
  issues?

Cheers,
Nick.

Getting sick of these howling southerlies in WA!!!
