But if you have extreme deflection at the deck interface and create deformation such as a 'teeny notch' where it goes through the deck ..... step out of the way, its coming DOWN. Try working with an unstayed rig, everything changes. Of course, I'm only running a junk-rig on a small (21' ) boat, but... Seems to me that deck stepping an unstayed rig is an exercise in futility.
