We had a similar result due to some vandalism (someone took the pin out of the stay bracket). After trying the marina for repairs, he suggested taking it to a welder instead. Since the Mast is pure aluminum, the welder was able to added some new aluminum to fix the tears. It has held up for two seasons so far. I wanted to try this fix first so I didn't have to shorten all of my stays and also, I wanted every inch of headroom under the boom.
