With enough tension, there could be pressure of the foils on the stay at the point where the sheets come off the wrap. Thinking about it since, I can't believe it would be an issue on a new rig. If the backstay was slacker than it should have been, and the roller furling slide break-point wasn't bolted tightly, the result could cause the furling slide to v-bend at that point. Then, when unfurling/furling often, caused the break to happen. Basically, bad installation. -- Molesworth |
