I need to check on mine. I'm really not in a big hurry though, I have at least 6mos time to completion on my Le Requin or longer. That way I'll have Jan's and yours for reference builds.

Daniel --- Well Jan's for sure - mine who knows I'm the slowest builder known to "man" - but yes we will both have Jan's superb log as a great
guide.
Jan thanks for your great log.......
Thanks for the Kudos, but I just bumble along, make a lot of mistakes but eventually get something done.

Okie Dokie, I've looked at the upgrade and it appears to me that the instructions show the Mast step being installed between the two #1 decks as per the kit plan. I think I have that right?????
What do you guys think???

Hmmm, how is that possible, since there is a #0 frame in between the two #1's?
Congrats on receiving your upgrade kit! I'm still waiting on mine, USPS alerted me that it arrived in Buffalo, NY. today...I'll probably have it in a couple of weeks.
I'm looking forward watching you get this installed!
Steve
Those frame numbers on Pavel's plans/prints has to be a mistake, it needs to go between frame 0 and frame 1 towards the bow. At least that's how I think it should work.

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out where to start. I checked to see if there was a video to scan.Congrats on receiving your upgrade kit! I'm still waiting on mine, USPS alerted me that it arrived in Buffalo, NY. today...I'll probably have it in a couple of weeks.

Yup, head scratcher.
I did a screen dump of one of Pavel's videos.
This is the old installation which by the way is a bit longer than the new one. Even so I think the short end goes toward the bow and the long toward the stern. I'ts theplacement of the piece underneath that I'm having trouble visualizing.

@RussF, my bad. You are right, I looked at the drawing wrong.
Fixed the rib labels." 0 " in the center and " 1-1" on each side.
That brings me to this quick fit
The bottom has to slot in to the " 0 " rib and the right " 1-1 " rib.
I need to remove some more material on there. I think I've got this figured out.

I think you're still off, my friend. I think I had mentioned before that it looks like Pavel has moved the mast forward one frame as it is in the real thing.
Notice the biti numbering in the drawing. The thick biti used to be on frame 0, now it is labeled as 1 and the new frame 0 biti is a standard thin one.
I'm assuming the upgrade kit has replacements for the bitis? The new (thicker) biti 1 should go on the #1 frame that is forward of frame 0 (toward the bow).
All this will then effectively move the mast forward one frame and put it where it is supposed to go.
The upgraded mast step:
It took a bit to remove the bitis that were in the way (used vinegar to loosen the glue).
Then I couldn't figure out which direction the long portion of the mast step shpuld face, toward the bow, toward the stern???
The Pavel Plan. The mast step is in the circle is pointing toward the stern.
The modification dry fitted.
There is still a bit of snding involved before the final glue down.

If you're moving the mast forward one frame, then the mast will abut the forward frame 1 on the aft side of the frame. Place your step however that can be accomplished.
I did move the mast forward to the forward frame 1, the rest of the supplied update parts fit very nicely (After char removal).
Jan
Interesting find on YouTube for the mast step upgrade. Pavel shows the steps for engineering the upgrade.
These photos should be a big help for the Oseberg builders
