Day Sailer

Stacey and I bought a used sailboat. Turns out it's a Day Sailor made by Spindrift. I'll try and collect more information as time allows. It sure is a lot of fun and I hope the boys enjoy it.

*CRUNCH* Something broke! Mast crutch support?

Cracked FiberglassCracked FiberglassWe took our little sailer out on Mosquito Lake for the second sail and she fared very well. We tacked across the lake, and on our way back across, she was bumping on the waves pretty good. We heard a loud crack and the sound of crunching fiberglass. We immediately pulled down the sails to investigate. Here is was we found. We limped back to the dock with the jib and loaded her up and brought her home.

The line is tied to the keel lever.
