[quote=golfdad75][quote]Glad you were prepared with the phone and got home safe. I once saw a beachcat get home after a demasting by jury-rigging a mast from the boom and lines, kind of a crab-claw setup.[/quote]
Today got dismasted about 2 miles offshore in the Gulf. My crew got really nervous and I wasn't real happy. 16-18 kt winds and we got caught in a sudden and brief squall and the shroud snapped. Well I thanks to all of the great posts I have read, we had cell phone, vhf, whistles, and some extra line. We made a jury rig like Damon is mentioning and 2 hours later limped ashore. We saw two boats but who knows what they were thinking.[/quote]
