Peter,
I am not sure about the pulpits, but many people store masts on the boat. I would support it separately (i.e. on some supports, where the mast can be more securely attached) and use a middle support, as well (somewhere around the spreaders, probably resting on the mast step, unless your mast is keel stepped). You may also want to raise it above the deck, so that you have access to the cabin (and the cockpit) during the winter. If you have a winter cover that does not use the mast as support, you may want to take it off the boat and support it on three sawhorses. Make sure that you support the furler properly, especially the drum, as the furler is longer than the mast (again, unless you have a keel stepped mast). I use a length of a 2x3 that goes into the mast and extends about 1 m, to which i tie the furler drum.
