Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads
Greg, I cannot speak to the structural analysis involved but I would not be at all comfortable leaving that space unfilled. Not sure the small benefit of departing from the designer's intent is worth the risk... just an opinion. And the heat thing is minimized by mixing smaller batches - less concentration, more surface area.

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads
Hey Russ, The sika has amazing freeze thaw properties and the reason I began looking outside of the standard epoxies or resins was due to my general lack of knowledge and also a bit concerned with the depth of material needed, and the heat generated while kicking off and curing. I was surprised when Dave went in that direction because I was under the impression the boat would catch fire or in the very least the end result would be brittle. After reading his process last night I think his success was using less catalyst but it's all foreign to me so I have no clue. (Awesome job btw) After a bit of thought, would it really matter if I left that area open and not fill the entire cavity? If I have a substantial compression post that is held fast around the forward keel bolt to keep it in position, couldn't it be open like the bilge on the other side? As long as the top of the area is secured and glassed back into the structure around the keelbolts with the steel plates I think it should be fine. I also contemplated drilling limber holes from that cavity into the bilge so that if and when water gets in, it would also drain out.

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads
Well you need to sleeve the 2 keel bolts for keel maintenance/removal anyway, so this requires a post or tube regardless, prior to the pour. Only other thing I would add (and it's a no-brainer) is to ensure that the 'floor' (large transverse rib) you cut under the mast step is adequately reinforced, both transversely and longitudinally. the once continuous glass spanning the keel stub isn't continuous any more so you want to rebuild/reinforce that. Again, that's pretty obvious I think. This is part of why I switched to very heavily glass filled epoxy at the top of my keel fill, and then built out a tapering cross of biaxial stitch mat and height modulus carbon spanning the whole region. Have flogged the boat hard this spring and am looking forward to lifting the sole and inspecting in October.

Hi Greg, If you want to spend extra... we used Pilgrim Magmaflow epoxy grout under the frame of the turbogenerater. Excellent flow characteristics if there is an awkward cavity to reach. It might be better than traditional grouts during freeze cycles if there is water present. A little over done for the job perhaps but you will smile.

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads
Have been thinking about your post Greg. Remember, the 33-2 mast step is not only compressed by the mast, it also bears the compression load of one of the four large keel bolts. Don't only think of the rig Fellow lister Doug A quite wisely convinced me to install compression posts when I rebuilt my keel, and the pro repair by Bristol marine here in Toronto does the same.

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads
Selden Mast Tuning manual (http://www.seldenmast.com/files/1416926327/595-540-E.pdf (p.31)) says that the shrouds should be set to 15%-20% of the breaking load. Keep in mind that you have at least 4 shrouds plus the stay and the backstay. The letter two are at less acute angle, so the force is reduced (by the cosine of the angle (the force is reduced for the shrouds, as well, but the reduction is around 2%, so who cares)).
