I wish. Like I said, it's not that big of a deal, just an oddity to report.
And seeing that I'm not the only one helps. They don't cause that much of a
problem, just the ratlines don't seat as securely as they should. I'll live,
but I might have to keel-haul somebody to assuage my dissapointment.

Have you considered taking a file or something to the mast base, to put in
notches in the correct places? I have, but I haven't gotten around to doing
it yet. Anyone tried this yet? How did it work?

Another, possibly better, possibility: Mount the base on a 2x2 or 4x4 turntable.
This will add height, but if you can compensate for the ratline height it should
solve the problem.
