It's partly my fault for not having the stay wires tight enough...but the mast on my 79 O'day Javelin fell over the other week after one of the stays broke. We had it buoyed on the lake, and there is really too much boat traffic for our little vessel. The mast is OK (thank-goodness!). There is a small tear at one of the rivet to the mast step. The mast completely broke off the mast step. I'm trying to figure out the best way to reattach it. Would this be a good job to have someone weld it back on? Or would I be fine to get a rivet gun and reattach it myself (assuming that the torn mast piece would be able to bend back into place)? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I've included some pictures.
