Default Dismasted %&$@ !

What different preparations should you make for the
possibility of dismasting at sea, for rod rigging, stainless
wire, and galvanized wire? [1 pt]


Carry a hacksaw, bolt/cable cutters . Those cutters for rod that use a
charge are cool. Have supplies to jury rig a mast. keep your TowBoatUS card
up to date.


What changes happen to the motion of the boat when the
mast is down? [1 pt]


more rock & roll



What should you do and not do immediately after a
dismasting? [2 pts]


clear up the whole mess. count your crew. Soften the jagged edge of the
mast.
don't motor until you're absolutely sure the prop is clear.
