    We've always raised our mast from the front towards the back, using the main sheet to bring it up.

    I'm going to see if the mast section I have now can be hacked up to make a sleeve.

    I can help

    I was a partner in a Mast Fabrication company in Florida for several years. I can help you with splicing your mast sections, but I will not be able to do it here in a post, as it is a technical process. If you email me, I will get into contact with you and be happy to explain some of the techniques including Tapering the top of the mast, and even some hints on Masthead construction.
    Regards,
    John
