With all the routing finished I sanded the track then varnished it with three coats, sanding between each coat. I was careful not to get any varnish on the mating surfaces where glue was going to be applied.
Again I had the opportunity to pull the mast true using the same process of clamping on one side, running a string, then flip-flopping every other clamp.
This photo shows an end view of the re-laminated mast.
