So, I did the unthinkable: loaned my Catalina 25 out to "a seasoned sailor." Boat went out, and came back broken, never even got in the water. Says "seasoned sailor:" we were raising the mast, and we almost got it up, a bit of wind came up and blew it out of my grip and it went overboard, really sorry, man."
So, how in the world do I fix this? No damage to the tabernacle/deck, but per the picture, the mast bolt tore through the holes in the mast. Any ideas? New Mast? Cut the damage off and re-drill holes? As Edgar Allen Poe wrote, "quote the Raven: "Nevermore!"
