Ditto that, I just used some Mylar and wrapped it around the base where if it was sloppy.

Cut a strip from a 2-liter bottle and sleeve the stanchion base. I would do it to not interfere with the set screw.

Before I order eight new ones, I'm wondering if anyone has tried filling the socket with epoxy and either setting the stanchion in the wet epoxy, or letting the epoxy set and re-drilling for the stanchion?

The topping lift allows better control of the sail, IMHO, especially in light air, you can take the weight off the sail and control its shape.

Long story but I had thought a couple of stanchions had fallen off when the boat was moved by truck. In the process I found the stanchions themselves were tapped 10-24 thread.
