This was a busy weekend at our club for mast unstepping. Several boats damaged already!

We're a do it yourself club and the most notable unstepping accident happened on a 26 foot boat.

The owner over loosened the fore stay and the mast actually fell straight backward. No one hurt, but his dodger was crushed. He was in o mood for an inspection of the mast tangs etc for additional damage. But it came down hard...

There. A Quantified incident against unstepping.
