The update for the Mast step continued:
After removing all the char and sanding the piece to "about" right shape I had to figure how to do the next step. I soaked the piece in hot water for about twenty minutes and then
dug into the clamp stash and let the assembly dry.
The result was excelent.
Step #2 was to fit and glue the replacement frames for the deck supports and mast "footing" .
The buid plan shows a section (Black arrow) that needs to be removed. I've not done that yet.
Also the two "O" deck supports for the new frame are similar except one is marked (two tiny zeros, Magenta arrow).

Final dry fit of the Mast step.
I think I've managed to get this step right. No final gluing until I paint the interior , frames and the complted decks. I've been putting that off since I don't like to paint.

Very nice job Jan! I think you'd agree, this looks much better than the original and was worth the effort.
That said, it looks like, even in his attempt to make a more scale-like mast partner, Pavel still took some artistic liberties. As you can see from Dr. Bischoff's dissertation below, the mast partner ended at the biti and did not extend beyond them. Additionally, the portion forward of the mast is significantly thinner.
I can't speak to the accuracy of placement or design here - but that is a fine looking work-in-progress Jan!
Hi Paul, that was an incredible amount of char removal and a long morning of sanding.
