I use the Rig-Rite NGA-19 (large rubber) wedges on my 30 MK I and the damned
things still fall out. I’m warming up to the idea of a spar-tite plug - but
now thanks to Joe I’ve got muffin-top images in my head :)

I use rubber wedges on my 30-1. I don’t remember where I sourced them but
google is your friend. My mast boot is constructed from a tire inner tube and
contact cement. Works great.

I think the idea when you set it up is to sand the mast a bit to make it rough
and spray mold release or coat the collar with Vaseline so it sticks to the
mast but not the boat.
If I ever redo mine I am going to make a “muffin top” to keep water out better.

Spar-tite is supposed to work for annual un-stepping/re-stepping, but I share
your concern. I especially like the first time the mast comes out and the
Spar-tite plug “lets go” of the boat, creating a 60-foot pogostick.
For what it’s worth, the last time I removed my mast with the Spar-tite
I would take the spar down in my 39 every year, and SparTite worked splendidly
for that. Just make sure you clean the mast good around the partners so it
sticks good, and make sure you put some Vaseline or something on the collar so
it comes out. Also make sure it doesn’t taper towards the bot
I used urethane from Spar-Tight and it works 1,000 times better than
wood wedges IMHO. It is a bit of a pain to set up though.
