I would take the spar down in my 39 every year, and SparTite worked splendidly for that. Just make sure you clean the mast good around the partners so it sticks good, and make sure you put some Vaseline or something on the collar so it comes out. Also make sure it doesn’t taper towards the bottom, which would make it hard to remove. If it is a little tight the first time you remove it, you can sand some off. If you are creative with clay, you can make a little lip down past the collar, so it won’t leak down the joint. I could never go back to wedges.

When I pulled the mast in Fall the wooden wedges at the partners were pretty beat up (probably original 1985) and I hate to continue re-using them. Any suggestions on what to use that might be better? I un-step the mast every year so trying to avoid spar-tite if possible. Thanks, Luke C&C 35-3 "Zella"
