but don't do it on your tramp or you will slide off your boat at the worst time possible..... (don't ask me how i know)
[quote]How would the track get pinched or closed in?[/quote]
the main way is when it's being moved around and somehow slips or just "kisses" something
but it can happen several other ways :
dropped too hard into the mast yoke on the trailer (many trailer backwards for that yoke )
if it's tied to the trailer yoke, or a beam and you hit a bad pot hole while driving
skipper or crew peter-pan or are ejected into the mast and something hard hits it (knife in a pocket, head, knee, etc)
side stay fails and the mast falls and the mast "kisses" a beam or hull...
forestay fails " " "
