The 37+ mast was rigged with check stays and/or running backs to help stabilize the mast against pumping. If you harden up the babystay to pull the belly of the mast forward and then firm up the backstay and set the check stays you should be able to find a combination that sufficiently stabilizes the mast.
This is all predicated on the assumption that the rig is properly tuned to begin with.
