So there I am sailing out of the Westport river cruising out against the tide....After I went through a few small waves I hear a sickening crack! and the mast lilts to the side about 15 degrees.....I limp back inot the river, drop the sail and solicit a short tow from the harbor master who happens to be nearby a the time....Anyway....There's a visible crack towards the top of the mast step that goes about 2/3rd around the circumference....My current thinking is to install a port near the mast step and galss away attaching the bottom and reapiring the existing mast step....Any onhe had this trouble before???
