My cabin top got messed up years ago when a helpful crew member undid
the forestay instead of the jib, and the mast fell down, ripping the
bolts out of the deck. I used large washers that covered the holes
and re-attached the bolts (I think I sealed everything with
something, too but it was many years ago so I don't remember.) It is
still holding today, but I rarely leave the mast up.
