Try to avoid the halyard.... Both with the drill and also in terms of the halyard rubbing on screws or rivets. You only need a couple of small fasteners, the metal is relatively thick, so small self tappers or even M3 or M4 tapped holes will work. It's probably prefereable to drill in the side of the mast, not the weld?

Or there's the old skool trick of bolting to the mainsail headboard, which means you never forget to put the burgee in before stepping the mast!

It does introduce the old school trick of getting the halyard wrapped around it when you aren't paying attention and crushing the burgee though...

Glue! If you can, never drill holes in carbon. |

having said that, if you've not got a mast head kite, the top 10cm of the leading edge of the mast is likely taking almost no load at all of any sort...
