Agreed, more likely that the mast step is dropping, a common issue on c&cs.___

Jack, Michael,
My first suspect is the mast step - which I agree is a much bigger issue
than the holes in the mast.
Thanks,
Tim

Tim, I have a 1987 35-3 thruhull#231 and my hooks have 2 3/8ths bolts thru the
hooks and mast, and there are no sleeves inside the mast. I presume some
earlier boats were made with single bolts and that was not enough.The nuts are
only snugged up so as to prevent any motion. So get out your lo
As I understand, this system is to keep the collar (and deck) from rising
due to the upward force of the halyard blocks which are attached to the
collar. Without them the collar is free to slide up the mast.
Is there a way to pass a bolt(s) through the collar and mast to keep the

check the clearance at the partners with the wedges removed to ensure an

installation on my 38, it is hard to visualize how the holes in the mast would
get elongated. On my 38 the cross bolt through the mast is actually a long 3/8
diameter cap screw or shoulder bolt, so there are n
Tim,
Have not seen your set up, but in a similar situation, the mainsheet bail on my
boom was creating larger holes and the rigger attached reinforcing plates to
the boom to take the load from the bail bolt. The plates are diamond shaped
and are attached to the boom with short screws / bolt
Tim,
You could always drill the holes for a larger bolt.
