So, who didn't put the port runner on as the boom went across?. And why wasn't the backstay at least taking some of the pressure?. It's a basic maneuver that the cockpit crew got wrong. Bad luck, better luck next time.

runner was on. no backstay on the rig. no matter, it was two years ago and we have a mumm 30 rig in the boat now. carbon is a wonderful thing. boat is much faster now. we run mastheads where with the wet noodle we could only do frac kites. we've won boat of the year twice since putting the new rig in.

Your reasoning I accept. The pressure in a hard puff before the boat can respond is huge and, looking at the footage whilst you were going uphill, it was pretty breezy. I'm sorry that I doubted the ability of the crew. Congratulations on your wins and have a great season this year.

from wat i see it broke a t the spreader prob. b/c where corrosion is common

nope, it broke about 10 feet off the deck, well below the first spreader. people on other boats say they saw the mast bend as far forward as the bow, then snap back and break. it was pretty much shock loading.

oh man- losing sticks sucks
hope no one was hurt- backstay give out?

the video is bad, but we caught a double gust in the middle of the gybe. running backstay was on. we think the mast took two hard shocks from the gusts.
everyone was fine. carbon mast coming as a replacement.
better quality video is being worked on. i haven't done video editing in a long time.
