Losing a Rig?

(Bobsprit) wrote in message ...
Forget about how it happened. Bad luck or bad stays, the mast is down, lying
with it's head in the water, still held a 3rd on deck held there by the
remaining stays. The sails were hanked on and they, along with the mast, are
helping to create a motion in the swells that's pretty awful. No boltcutters on
board. Can anything be saved? The sails? Should ANY effort be made to save the
rig, or should we just get the needle nose pliars and get it all off and over?

In your case you better just let it go and call the USCG or the sea
brownies. And with that dangerious old rod rigging, you better be
prepared.

Myself- Id winch it up next to the toerail and secure it.

The seas are 4-6 feet, so there's imediate danger.

Bwahhahahahahah 4-6 foot imediate danger....... Says it all about your
ability. Guess your sailing a sunfish huh?
