A friend tells me that mast steps are a bad idea because hallyards get cought on them.
I'm thinking of placing two folding steps, at the same level, about four feet from the top of the mast, just in case I need to do any prolonged work there in the future.
my questions are:
Should I bother going up the mast just for step installation purposes (of course while there I'll check the conditions of everything else)?
Does anybody with folding mast steps installed share my friend's opinion?
Thank you for any opinions.
