Hi Guys,
Been lurking here a while and thought Id better say hello
Quit windsurfing about 20 years ago, and since then have been getting back into a few midlife crisis sports... lots of skateboarding, and recently found a nice YPSI.

Ive spent hours searching the net to get info on how the original mast foot works, and finally got mine disassembled without damage. Exploded pic below... in case it is of future use to anyone.

It seems that the large bolt head has stripped the black plastic insert (hence turning the knob does not engage the crushing of the rubber dooberlackie. Has anyone ever repaired on of these?

Im think lots of araldite around the bolt head to hold it in place

Is there a better way

Im hoping to fix this and not have to resort to building a new base

Peace,
Ivan
