Obviously not a sailboat.

Looks like they are going to get a "crash" course in removing the steering wheel

They had probably driven under it the day before but the lake level rose. Once on Lake Fork here in Texas we moved our barge to a different section of the lake by going under the 515 bridge a few weeks later when it was time to return the only way we could get it under the bridge was to disassemble some of the equipment but the lake had only risen a couple of feet

Failure point is at the weakened mast point. Notice what appears to be a deck light just below the spreader. With that much force, it was going to break somewhere, but whatever is mounted below the spreader weakened the maks.

As for the leaning boat, not a safe way to travel. Either lower the mast to go under, or don't go there with such a tall mast. This is not an example good boating skills. It is an example of being lucky, not smart. The true boater would go somewhere else.
