Broken mast steps are a know problem for Landfall 38s. When I unstepped my
mast, the old step lifted out in two halves.
Wally Bryant describes having a new one fabricated and welded together. I
spoke to a welder about having a similar one fabricated, and was advised to
have one CNC milled from a solid block as it was a "set it and forget it"
operation whereas welding was going to be labor intensive. I did some of the
leg work myself, and in the end spent about $300 for a new fabricated step. I
have a write up online which includes a CAD drawing that was used to create the
CNC step file.
