I use a strip of canvas the same colour as my sail cover. It is about 5" wide
and 5' long.
I wrap it around and it does the job in all but heavy, prolonged rains.

I have 2 inch gray self fusing tape on Touché. Put on several overlapping
wraps. In my opinion, it's the best. Been on for several years now and is still
in good condition. Absolutely leak tight once you fill the main sail slot with
sealant like LifeSeal.
The gray blends in with the aluminum mast and collar so it's barely noticeable.
Highly recommended.
Bought it on eBay.

Ok folks,I need a new mast boot. I've seen the poured rubber block that is
more or less permanent. Wally has a write up about how he did it on Stella
Blue and I saw it first hand on Jake's boat. I like it but I think it is too
big of a commitment right now. Until then, I'm thinking of using the
self-vulcanizing rubber tape that is 6" wide. Having used similar products
like "Rescue Tape" for other projects, I expect that I'll need a length that is
at least 3 times the circumference of my mast collar (35" * 3 = 105"). Does
anybody have any thoughts on the best way to do this job, or which product is
best?Thanks,
