My boat was damaged at a marina when it was being lifted off jacks by a travel lift. I was not present when the accident happened. I was told that a jack slipped as the boat was being lifted, the boat rocked forward on the slings, and the "mast" (or rigging, maybe) hit the travel lift. The impact tore the forestay/furler, the mounting hardware, and a piece of the foredeck deck off the boat. I'd appreciate any knowledgeable comments on what it will take to return the boat to seaworthy condition. For example, will special tools and special knowledge be required? Can any boatyard do this work? For that matter, is it repairable? The boat is an '83 wing keel. (Side note: the bow light on the pulpit was bent in 90 degrees when I inspected the boat. I don't know if this occurred at the same time.) Photos follow. Thanks very much for any information you can provide.

Hi Catbird,

Your photos don't show up. I noticed that you're using Yahoo ... for some reason, we haven't had much luck with that site. You might try posting the photos of the damage on Shutterfly ... it's free, and it works with our Forum. Here is a link: [url="http://www.shutterfly.com/index.jsp"]Shutterfly[/url]

'Sorry to hear about the accident ... I hope you can get her patched up!

Hi Catbird,

We can see the photos now, but you used the URL for the thumbnails. I think it might be better to post the full-sized photos so people can see the damage better ... I changed the URLs ... 'hope you don't mind.

Here are the full-sized photos:
