Guys,
I don't understand this problem. If you capsize the boat and it turns turtle, you should never loose your mast or sail. Hopefully the boat was rigged with a halyard from the sail up thru the hole at the top of the mast and tied down on the cleat on the deck. If correctly secured, no mast or sail should be lost even if the mast comes out of its hole. Just another thought the boom should also be tied by the sheet to the traveler cable above the rudder. Be sure when your setting up to go sailing to put a figure 8 in your ropes at the end to prevent them from slipping thru your pulleys, eyes or any other holes the ropes could slip thru. This means the mast and sail are connected in two places.? Note to right a sailboat, never loosen the halyard from the deck or the sheet from the traveler.? No doodle needs to be attached to anything or mast filled with foam. Happy sailing?
