Mast Stepper

The Mast Stepper is a must have item.

It's sold by www.catalinadirect.com.  It's a bit pricy but solves several problems.

The Mast Stepper is a square metal rod that slips into the gudgeons where your rudder normally goes.  It has a fork with a roller at the top and extends upward to cradle the mast just before stepping up or down.  It also acts as a storage crutch in the off-season.

I've taken the diagram directly off www.catalinadirect.com.
