I am inclined to agree, all it takes is one bump on the forestay and you're done for.
I did see the helpful soles drop the forestay at haul out but on reflection there was a lot of complaining about the sail not furling properly so it may have got damaged this spring, (I unfortunately was not present when the mast went up so can not say for sure) if that's the case the rigging is shot.
So moving on can you mix rod and wire rigging?
