How to Pretzel your Rig When Disassembling the Boat

1.  sail all day and get really tired
2.  forget to read the manual before you begin
    disassembling the boat
3.  relax the starboard mast's backstay before you 
    hook up the port boom to the king pin
4.  at this point the stbd mast will fall forward and in,
    and the port mast will fall aft and in.  Watch your
    head!!!
5.  now you know, always always always hook up the 
    port boom before you take the masts down!!!
