Who has a solution for rain down the inside of the mast?

[jpendoley]

I am on a mission-I want a dry bilge!  Just completed a shower sump install and my engine stuffing box is running cool and almost dry.  The rudder stuffing box is still leaking-I have plans to further tighten or repack (anybody know if repacking can be done in the water?).  The real puzzle is how to funnel the rain water that comes down the mast into the shower sump.  I have a hood stowaway and the sail cavity funnels a lot of water to the mast step and from there into the bilge. I'm probably the only one with in mast furling, but you all must get ingress-how do you remove it?  Looking not to route it into the bilge...
