RedactedNarrative: Owner/Operator stated he was under sail power when he heard the sound of metal fatiguing from the bow.  The mast rotated and collapsed onto the deck and over the starboard side of the vessel, dragging in the water with sails still attached.  Operator called for help but UHF antenna was underwater attached to the top of the mast.  Cell call was made to county dispatch center and location was determined.  County Sheriff responded along with the US Coast Guard.  County sheriff boat towed Vessel 1 back to shore.
