Calidris again!
The hole in the mast was badly worn, partly due to the use of a machine screw whose full length thread had worn the wood.
I cleaned out the hole to a true cylinder and then fitted a short length of copper pipe. After fitting a new, slightly oversized, bolt the mast pivot has been fine ever since.
