No, not while sailing. I had just hauled out from the launch ramp, and was driving slowly to get into position for lowering the mast... resident gets into her Mustang and begins to back up without looking. I slam on brakes and honk...she gives ME a dirty look. I drove to the mast lowering spot. When I get out of the car, I notice that the boat had moved...in fact, it had crashed into the front mast rest. Two dents. No noticeable float damage. Thats how to ruin a good day on the water.

Good thing the front spreader is inexpensive to replace. Anyway, here's the video of the sail.
