The glue that holds my comptip together failed and the two mast pieces separated. This happened when I was trailering, and as far as I can tell, there is no damage to the mast. (Thankfully the two pieces just fell onto the tramp, not the road).

I need to know if I can still sail the boat without the glue, at least until I can reglue it.

The boat is a 2008. I picked it up last week, and sailed it twice this weekend. The glue must not have been set completely when I picked it up and the 100 mile trip home must have bounced the joint enough to prevent the glue from setting.

Anyways, the boat was crazy fast, and I dont want to wait weeks to get the mast fixed before I can sail it again.

You want to get that fixed. The longer it goes, the worse it will get.

It's a 24 hour job for us - most of that time spent letting the epoxy fully cure. Work with your dealer to get it done, cause it wasn't done right to begin with.
