Guy,
About the only think you can do in that situation is pin the mast-to-boom plate to the mast. Many commercial boom-to-mast plates have a hole for that purpose.
BTW, a better place to ask this question is on the Tower Talk reflector.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Antenna slippage on mast
I have a large 20M monobander with a 60' boom. It seems that whenever the winds exceed a certain speed I will subsequently need to climb up to 160' to repoint the antenna. My 40M 4 el beam doesn't seem to do this. It is definately not rotator slippage because the 15M monobander is lined up just fine.
Any tips/tricks?
Thanks in advance,
Guy, N7ZG
