[color:"orange"] [/color] A Hobie 16 parked right next to my Prindle 16 in the boat yard lost a clevis pin somehow and its mast fell between the Prindle's mast and a shroud. Fortunately, it came to a rest there. Unfortunately, the accident left a small but noticable bend in my mast at about 1/4 down from the top, tilting to port. Do you think that this minor bend will affect the Prindle's sailing performance significantly? Is it worth the trouble trying to have it repaired somehow? Please advise.
