	Does the mast have a hole in it ? This would be my guess.

	Old T bird masts weren't sealed. If yours is one of these then it will be really hard to get upright.

	that boat had a hurricane mast on it origionaly - was one of the few white formula Tornado sports built prior to them going to the new olympic spec (by a few years) Hurricane mast usually watertight , but heavy all the same solution get a nice light sealed carbon one ,Si Northrop had one for sale . or put on the beef !
