Steve Can you not put it up and rig a halyard to the toerail on the affected side? Then when new rod comes you could go up in a bosuns chair to attach it.
Might be a bit tricky around the spreader end but I cannot see why it could not be done if you didn’t want to incur more launch costs with cranes. Another option is to lay the mast on top of boat and launch that way and then use a spar crane at one of the local clubs to step the mast.

The word from Navtec is "replace", which doesn't surprise me. I don't see that they have much incentive to tell me to sail with it as is, from both a liability perspective as well as a sales perspective. Oh well, our short sailing season just got shorter :( it's going to be about two weeks before I can get the stick up again. And then I'm not sure where I'll be putting it up. We had an agreement for this Friday for me and a few other boats from our small club to use one of the larger club's cranes. I'm missing out on that party so it looks like I'll be going to one of the sketchy port guys down on Cherry Street. I've had experiences with one of those guys and it was terrible, so I guess I'll try the other guy. Unless any Toronto listers have other suggestions?

At worst the end is defective and you are sure. I doubt taking 1/64" or less off will make a cracked part any worse. At best after you buff it out there is no crack and the die does not show up you should be good. From your original photo #3 you might try in the middle of the flat part.

He's a good sport. Did the dye test .. jury is out. He's going to Navtec with the pictures and I should know by today. If I had more time I would replace it on principle but I've got crane time booked on Friday with no idea when the next opportunity might be, more than likely I'de be paying to have it done later in the season. The lost time is more of a concern than the spent money. So, if the rig needs fixing then I'm out for a couple of weeks at least. If not .. then the mast goes up on Friday just in time for our long weekend! If the best case scenario pans out I'll be making plans starting now to have the eye dealt with in the fall, as well as one seized tie bar, otherwise the rig is sound. I was hoping to spend boat bucks on a new cabin sole and running rigging this year. We shall see.
