I used ratcheting tie downs to pull the deck down towards the mast step - and an OC6 crew standing on deck around the mast. This was when I forgot to install the straps one year and only noticed days later - the deck had "lifted" or perhaps as Steve points out, the weight of the keel had something to do with it. In my case, halyard tension seemed to play a role so don't forget to take the tension out of your rigging.
