I dont want to cut a hole in the boat
now if I did this would it break any sailing rules or could I stile race the boat because im racing this boat right now and I have purchased a disk to put in itIf you are not planning on racing it and just want a quick fix. Buy a tube of 5200 fast cure and another metal mast step disc. Empty the entire tube into the mast step or at least enough to go significantly above the A Hole and drop the disc in, tap down gently and let it cure...Should be good for a while..

what type of west system epoxy is best for the second methodThe problem is that when the step is under stress the hole probably gets larger.
There are two ways to fix:
First the most difficult and the best. Cut hole in the desck for an inspecxtion port. Then rebuild the mast step using West System Epoxy and fiberglass fabric.
The second method that may not totally work: Pour some West System Epoxy in the hole to cover th crack plus 1/4 inch. Then use a steel disk under the mast. It is probably best to cemet it in place using silicone or #M sealant.
