The mast raising pole was in the hole when the jib fore stay slid through the furler drum and the rest is history. The mast bounce three times on the mast crutch.

The force of the pole being held by the main sheet hooked to the chain locker hold down was pretty impressive.

The force ripped the aluminum pretty bad. The mast is still straight and the mast crutch didnt pound through the transome. I checked for cracks it looks sound.
