This is not the first, nor certainly the last, the unfortunate result of irresponsible owners causing damage to those around him. Fellow lister Dan has major damage (one of many boats from same cause) from a weather incident last fall. He prepared whilst others were blissfully ignorant.
Go after the other boat...if only to appease my anger at these chuckleheads who cause unwarranted stress and $$$ to our prepared brethren. Rant out. Thank you. David F. Risch (401) 419-4650 From: CnC-List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Tom Alessi via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, January 8, 2020 4:46 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Tom Alessi <[email protected]> Subject: Stus-List Spreader Bracket Went to check up on my boat the other day and found that my lower port spreader bracket had been pulled off the mast, but still attached to spreader. Seems a nearby sailboat owner had not removed the jib and it came unfurled during a storm and caught hold of the spreader boot. I can only imagine it violently shaking my spreader and rig. With the bracket partially off I can see a hole in the mast. - Is that some kind of access opening behind the bracket? Or is it worse than that? I'm buried in the yard and the mast won't be down till spring. -If the bracket or spreader is destroyed, does anyone know of a source for replacements? - Boat owner or Boatyard responsible? Appreciate any info. Tom Alessi Andiamo C&C 36 646-283-1580
