M_Boats: My latest disaster

An ill-considered attempt to sail yesterday on Lake Pleasant in significant wind didn't go too well. The outboard died at a nicely chosen moment, and at almost the same moment the main halyard jammed halfway up. We ended up blown onto the boat ramp broadside-to. Much fun followed. Not a lot of damage if you don't count third-degree skinned knees, but my mahogany rudder is now toothpicks. The halyard jammed when the rope-wire splice slipped under the lower shroud anchor and caught on the clevis pin.
