Catastrophe strikes the SeaDonkey

Catastrophe strikes the SeaDonkey



No vandalism involved,
It appears that the cotter pin on the roller furling must have failed, this is the pin holding it andit backed out on a windy night, then the mast fell back, snapped a stainless steel shroud, then it all fell back into the lake.
 I think, with a new shroud and some new pins and a little fiberglass patching, she should be as good as it was when she arrived at the lake.
She will be ready in no time.

Nabil.

Safety:
Keep your boats in a good condition so things like this do not happen when sailing.
