[Michael Meltzer]

not a happy camper right now, no mast drop, the selftailing winches saves the day, got the boat into the wind fast(12-15 knots), 
cleared the cockpit(one kid got hit with a flying turn bulkel, look like the mast would go), one of the side stay thought it's pin 
at the same time(got the mast leaning on the good ones) started the engine fast, dropped the main, repinned one of the side stays 
that popped at the same time, tighten in the jib hailer(glad the jib did not rip, I would have to cut away the rigging) which got 
the mast to stop swinging and basicly stright, got spare spinnark hailer on the anchor roller bail to get pressure off the jib. 
dropped the jib, tolk the jib hailer to the spinner padeye and tight up the mast again. got a little glass damage from were the mast 
base started to move around. got the boat in.
