[quote=tami]Seal the mast. That should be a priority. If your mast takes on water, you've got however much water at 8lb/gal at the end of a rather long lever. You ain't gonna be getting that back up, even if it's not "mudhen'ned."
And the only solutions I've seen for a real bad mudhenning is a. powerboat pull out, which if not done right is expensive (broken sail, mast, battens) or b. sheeting in the main underwater and hoping a wave fills the sail, which is expensive 'cause it'll at least take out battens and maybe the sail too. Sheeit, your lake is deep - the Mississippi Sound averages 15ft.
Y'know... come to think, a search of not only thebeachcats, but other small-multihull fora (catsailor.com) will have all the questions you've asked so far already answered.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by tami on Jan 23, 2011 - 08:05 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
