Mast broke from the shoe

[normbue]

While dropping the mast last fall, something didn't work right, and the base of the mast pulled off of the shoe tearing out the holes in the mast. Anyone have thoughts on the best way repair this?? Could cut off the bottom of the mast, but that would affect the shrouds.

I am not 100% sure, never had this happen... I'd look into maybe talking to a local repair shop and see what they suggest. I would assume some sort of welding\filling in of the existing holes could happen, then redrill.

Thanks, But I have seen it before. Think I will wrap a band around it and drill new holes.
