I took my son and his friend out on the Nacra 460 today and about 20 minutes into the sail the shroud broke and the mast fell. No one was hurt and it was not long before a trio in a Zodiac gave us a tow in.
The boat is only a few years old and has been sailed less than 15 times. The shroud does not appear to have any corrosion or other damage besides being broken. I am surprised that this failed and I dont think its normal.
I cant seem to find shrouds for sale on line, so should I call the dealer, or look to have something made locally? I've swagged wires, but I not sure I want to take on a shroud. Thoughts?
Here is a picture, let me know what you think:
