I have a 1994 Petrick 35. For the ‘22 season the mast was stepped after being pulled as a yard requirement. During the season there was a lot of creaking that was not there before. Rinse and repeat for ‘23 but the creaking was replaced by leaking. The mast stayed in over the winter but after getting the sails on I decided to try and address the leaking. After removing the boot tape I noticed the mast moves about in the collar when I pull on the fore stay. My thought is to remove the collar, reset the wedges, replace the collar, caulk and install the boot(??). Can this be done without removing the sails and boom to get the weight off? I plan to take pictures later today and can post them. If anyone has thoughts based on prior experience or knowledge I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
