If nothing else got damaged, but your pride, I'd consider you had a sucessful day! A little paddling never hurt no-one.-But a bent mast would be a major HURT!

I had a side shroud come loose. I didn't realize anything was wrong, until I tacked and the mast fell over. -No damage. Captain and crew floated with beers in hand to the nearby shore, and promptly re-masted and continued sailing.

No damage, then no drama.
