Vessel 1 was travelling from Rocky River to Kelley's Island on a port tack when the port shroud pulled loose from the deck where it was attached.  The mast, boom, attached hardware, and two sails came down to the starboard side of the vessel.  The Occupants of Vessel 1 cut the lines and cables to the sails and rigging allowing the mast and attached parts to sink quickly.  Vessel 1 was then anchored.  The anchor line on Vessel 1 later had to be cut to allow the Coast Guard to get Vessel 1 in a stern tow.
