Yesterday I took the DS2 out in a solid 15-20 knot breeze and it was humming nicely. Lots of fun on the lake....[until]
However, my starboard side stay bolts snapped and the wire went flying and with the mast under pressure from the sail, it bent like a twizzler. See attached pictures.

Also, it is a straight mast, no tabernacle setup. I'd prefer to keep it that way since putting in a tabernacle seems like it'd be more trouble than worth.
What do I do? Is there a place to get a replacement mast? What does something like that cost? Should I look for a used mast? Anyone have a mast they'd like to donate/sell to a poor sailor?
Thanks for any advice you might offer.
