If you have any rig tension on that would do it.
Other options, assuming you haven't had any mast step work done is to raise the
mast up a bit, put the bolts in and drop it back down. Or shim the mast up to
the right height.

Subject: Stus-List mast collar straps
Hi,
This is my first season sailing after a
season on the hard doing repairs. When the yard re-stepped the mast the holes
on
the metal straps that bolt through the mast no longer align. The holes on the
mast are lower by 3/8". As part of the rehab I had removed the mast collar. so
I
initially thought that I used too much caulking in the installation. I
removed the collar and scrapped away all the caulking but the holes
are still off. I wasn't there when the yard had originally took out the mast so
I'm not sure if there was anything under the mast causing it to be slightly
higher. I'm relunctant to drill a new set of holes.
Any advice would be
appreciated.
Thx
Tom Alessi
