Hello,
We had some wind on Saturday night in Chicago and I lost my mast during the rain storm. See pictures for the very sad picture of the state I found her in on Sunday and the damage I had to the base of the mast.
I had two questions.
1. I have Boat U.S. insurance on the boat. The yard (Crowley's) said they think that the mast will need to be replaced. Anyone with experience with Boat U.S. have any feeling of how this may play out? I had sailed her a few times in the month she was in the water and had no problems with the rigging.
2. While at the morning do you typically leave the swing keel down for those that have them? I have been leaving mine up.
Thank you,
Michael
