[Rhodes22-list] Accident Boat Minor Damage Me More So

[Wickman, William E]

Ron,
I echo everyone's sentiments.  We feel your pain.  I don't think there is a single one of us that hasn't done some lame thing to our boats (and ourselves).  Thank you for sharing with us; it serves as a reminder to follow "the check list" when raising and lowering the mast.  Like many of us, I have my own personalized check list that I keep in my hand during the whole raising/lowering process.

Ron,
Glad you are OK and the damage was minimal.  A check list or Stan's instructions are critical.  The mast raising/lowering process is the most demanding part of boat launching and takes very careful thinking.  The mast step is easily replaced (I've did mine twice on my previous boat).  I would just straighten out the mast step, others suggest replacing it.  Your call.  You've got a whole winter to think about it. - rob

Sorry about your accident and glad no one was worse injured. I had my mast crash once also due to operator error. Since mast raising/lowering only happens twice a year it's easy to forget something and it's a stressful procedure anyway. I now have the procedure written down and I review or have someone read it off as we go. I hammered my mast step back in shape but would have been a lot easier and straighter to buy a new one.
