Default epoxy failure by flexion?

Hi group,

If one were to sheath an unstayed, solid (grown) wooden mast with
unidirectional fibreglass and epoxy (painted over for UV protection),
would the sheathing eventually embrittle and fail? I'm thinking that
an unstayed mast goes through far more flexion cycles and flexes much
further than a stayed mast.

Thoughts?
