Anybody had this happen to them?
Happened to me the other day, I was close hauled in very mild wind, I tacked , heard a crack and down she came. The lower mast broke about ten inches below the end where it joins the upper mast.
It has made me wary of two-blocking whilst beating as this bends the mast and I don't want to snap another one!
Any thoughts?
