DAME AWARD WINNER 2025. 

The need to access the mast’s vertical section for cleaning or repairs is essential for safe navigation.

A mast step should be more than just a step, it should be a comfortable and secure workstation.Current mast steps are uncomfortable and fragile, making it nearly impossible to stand on the mast for extended periods and increasing the risk of falling from height.

''Safety and Comfort when working on the mast are essential for safe sailing''

SOFT STEP + MAST WORK SAFETY SYSTEM

It allows a single person to climb and work on the mast—until now, this task has always required two people at the same time. A product that delivers comfort in use, offering dual functionality while blending seamlessly with the sleek lines of high-end yachts.

• Engineering Excellence: More than just a step, it’s a workstation
• Integrated Safety: Features a dedicated lifting, securing, and belaying eye cast directly into the underside of the step, providing a robust and discreet anchor point for technical maneuvers
• Premium Quality: Comfortable, lightweight, and built to last a lifetime.

The sudden change in the sail’s position, when exceeding the deck limits, can exert constant and/or variable pressures (and/or impact forces) on the safety line and/or rigging, causing wear and potential tears in the sail.
Most products on the market do not provide a 100% effective or reliable solution, as they are not fixed to the cable and are often of low manufacturing quality.
