Chuckle. I'm a specialist in wild rigs that come to pieces like the one-hoss-shay. Witness my infamous wing-masted Pacific proa, "Mbuli." Sailing it is like an emergency that starts at the dock. A harrowing series of breakages and capsizes interspersed with occasional flashes of out-of-this-world speed.
