Adhesive: epoxy.
Either West System six-10 or SystemThree GelMagic (both in the caulk gun cartridge). More glue than you'll need for this project but you'll find many good uses. These keep for years (may need to be put in a water bath (120F) to undo any crystallization. Work great as glues for wood working projects and, in a pinch, will even wet out a patch of fiberglass for a small repair.
Use the epoxy to glue some eye-straps or whatever you can tie zip ties to to your mast.
Alternative glue: JB Weld (that comes in two small tubes, most auto and h/w stores). Works well for metal to metal.
What not to use: 5-min h/w store epoxy in the double syringe. That stuff is something to stay away from
