The twisting mast is quite likely as we discovered when my sister released the forestay as we were taking the mast down and the mast toppled- the pin that holds it to the maststep had come out (still, amazingly, on the boat, as was the nut.) Luckily the mast just grazed my shoulder and does not appear to have bent as it fell. That's probably what it was. Now I have one more thing to check- when I trailer-sail of course I know the pin is in place, but the boat has been anchored out for five weeks and it must have worked loose. It probably couldn't move much with the wind in front of us but running downwind for several hours moved it around. Bobbie
Ouch... last time that happened to me I caught it as it hit my head...I quickly looked around and played it off like I meant to that!! I had just installed a CDI furler and did not notice that the original stay pin was a tinsy bit to short, it took one more time before I realized that and switched from a push pin to a clevis. -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+gilbert=mindgame.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+gilbert=mindgame.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Bobbie Mayer Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 10:29 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: Groaning M15 The twisting mast is quite likely as we discovered when my sister released the forestay as we were taking the mast down and the mast toppled- the pin that holds it to the maststep had come out (still, amazingly, on the boat, as was the nut.)
