Once again: since I have not seen that bug, I can not attempt to fix it, therefore nothing addressing it is in that update, nor is there likely to be anything for it in any subsequent update. You should try Build 15, which has its own problems as it is still a work in progress but which may be more stable on your computer.
Masts were vulnerable to being shot away on real sailing ships, so that feature is likely to remain. You may be able to reduce the frequency of masts being shot away by editing "PROGRAM\InternalSettings.h". Look for any settings relating to masts, including:
. Everything in the '// Amount added to mast damage when mast hit by the following things' section
. GCMASTCRIT
. CMASTCRIT
. MASTCRIT
. TMSAILCRIT
Note that "InternalSettings.h" is overwritten by updates because it includes new settings which were not present in the January 2022 installer. So if you make changes to your own version, you will need to make them again each time you install an update. A useful tool for comparing changes between files is WinMerge:
WinMerge - You will see the difference…
