I just purchased a DS III which had been left on a buoy for several summers (17-18?) with the mast up. Over time, the bottom of the mast flared out and it slipped off the mast step while under sail. More than once! They cut a cm or two off the mast to straighten things out, but the problem persisted. Any ideas for securing the mast to the step so that it will stay in place? I appreciate any help you can provide.
