Etchells Wide Step Block
Product Description
Etchells Wide Step Block
Here is the same E22 step block, but wider. The ranges are different, too. The width is 3.75" and accommodates a 4" wide mast partner opening. The extra width helps to keep it from twisting. The step depths are ¼", and the ranges are: 1 5/8", 1 7/8", 2 1/8", 2 3/8", and 2 5/8". The overall width and height is 3.75" x 6"; weight is 1.5 lbs.
What’s unique about our step block? The first two steps (for lighter air) are at 90°, while the last 3 steps are angled in 8°. This matches the increased mast rake angle that occurs as you increase negative pre-bend for heavy air. The greater angle grabs the lip more securely, helping to keep the step block from being popped out the top.
