I’m pretty new to sailing and when I was out I had my gas line snap. Obviously this wasn’t a big deal at first as I just sailed back towards dock but I ended up stuck in irons only 100 meters from my marina. I was also too close to shore to feel comfortable trying to swing back into the wind and had to call the coast guard. Just wondering if anyone else had anything like this happen, I felt pretty dumb calling them because my engine wasn’t working while on a sailboat. With that being said I’m not sure how I would have gotten into my slip without motor power.
