Our 1975 Typhoon we've owned for nearly 20 years had the same problem. Previous owner installed larger knees inside cabin (provided free by CD) but they didn't help much. We finally had a compression post installed directly under mast to the keel. Eliminated most of portapotti space, but solved the sagging problem.

I would strongly suggest contacting Maine's Robinhood Marina. They have folks knowledgeable about this issue and its fixes.
