Broken Mast...Repair or replace

[Brion Toss]

Hello,
Great post from Douglas. I'm just curious to hear more details, for forensic reference. See, every rigging failure, though it might cost you dearly, can be an opportunity to learn how to prevent other failures, for you and the world. So tell us more about the turnbuckles, sea conditions, state of tune, age of rig, etc., okay?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
