I noticed a 1/2" crack just above where the comptip joins the bottom mast section.... the crack is not a big deal.
Sounds like wishful thinking. The part of the comptip right where it inserts into the aluminum section sees the highest load. I would make sure it's not a structural crack because if it is, just slapping a little epoxy on it isn't going to do anything.
I'd rig the boat up, crank the main sheet in real hard, and put the boat on it's side and take a look. See if the crack spreads open or looks worse. If the crack is deeper than just a few thousandths or you can see broken glass fibers, I would not consider it to be non-structural.
