 Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2008 8:32 pm Post subject: Rig lost at sea at W Dennis today |
 |
|
My mast base broke sailing W Dennis and the rig sank- had to paddle back. The rig consists of an old (late 90s) Fiberspar mast, an old HPL carbon boom and a Naish Noa 6.0 sail plus Chinook base. If any of this washes up on the beach and is found, please contact me at protagonist@myway.com.
Thanks.

That Labrador Current is kicking pretty hard these days, with all the NE wind we've been getting! We'll keep our eyes open down here in Hatteras, too!  |

| Had the same experience on Lake Erie about 20yrs ago. New mast,booms,and sail. The extention pins hadn't fully engaged and when I went for a water start the mast seperated from the board and eventully the mast filled with water and sank. I was about a mile off shore in about 15ft of water . I bumbed a ride in a small plane to see if I could locate it but it was long gone. |

| Is that relevant, Dawg? We have all had that kind of an experience or we shouldn't be posting here. I wonder, though, if something lost in the Nantucket sound might not wind up in Davey Jone's locker. |

Of course it's relevant, Chuckles. It's called empathy. You might try it sometime. |

Brucie, do you think we'd be lucky enough to send the  at 19 Glory Lane to Davy Jones's locker? |

Gees, haven't heard the term relevent in years. The sail I lost with that rig was a NP WarpSpeed 7.7. Lost track of all the hours I spent on that type of sail. Pulled like a tractor and at a certain windspeed just slamed me into the water.
