you need to get the plate back down, make sure the line is one the =
foward part of the cleat and the mast carry is holding the mast up. if =
the mast is to far down it puts alot of prussure on that plate. The =
screew are in "shere", I would check with stan, but drilling the plate =
for the next 2 screew sizes up and using 5200 should fit it.

  Bill,

  What you describe about the plastic inside the mast being off or =
broken makes sense. I can tell the pole is not where it is supposed to =
be unless the block is on the deck (which pushes the pole to where it =
needs to be).  I'm never insulted by questions. I was having major =
problem with the sail while sailing but waited until today to check it =
while there was no wind at the dock. The sail seems to move quite easily =
if the pole is in the right place.

  Didn't want to hear that I have to take down the mast to fix it. This =
raises another question. After I put the mast up with the mast hoist at =
the beginning of the season, the plate on the deck that holds the mast =
hoist pin lifted off the deck! All the stays were already attached when =
this happened so I wasn't sure how dangerous it was for the mast raising =
since the deck plate seems to be a pivot point and not a weight bearing =
point. I called Stan about this and still need to email him for the =
replacement parts. Do you think it would be too dangerous to lower the =
mast if the plate isn't permanently fixed to the deck?
