Enterprise Mast Step

   I'd make a new mast step out of plastic chopping board: its a very suitable material! Then you can cut it to match the tenon.

	I have same size mast step but my mast foot fits exactly, not sure why your foot is smaller, possibly a donor mast. New mast feet are available, plastic and other materials.

	Hi. I've just bought a 1961 Enterprise and I'm concerned about the mast step. The slot is longer than the peg on the mast. There is a wooden block in the slot to shorten it and the step moves slightly; the screws are working loose. Should I replace the step to the correct size and how tight should the slot be around the peg? If I replace it I'm going to be tempted to put machine screws right through with nuts and spreader plate. The previous owner told me to put a second wooden block under the front lip of the mast!? See photos. Also the support from the keel to under the mast step has a wedge of wood at the top. Is this normal? Mast is Proctor. Apologies if terminology is not correct. Am new to all this. Thanks for any help you can offer.
