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.
