Thanks for the replies.

Jack, what does the EZ-Step system consist of? The small drawing used to advertise the system does not show much detail. Is the pole aluminum and heavy duty enough to handle the job? How do you attach the pole to the mast base? Does the pole do any damage to the mast? Does the pole have a small wheel and bearing at one end to help slide the winch cable or forestay over it? What type of cables or rope are used to attach the pole to the ends of the front beam?
