[quote=nohuhu][quote=MN3][quote]nspect for cracks and/or signs of metal fatigue on the bottom side of the front crossbar (where the post goes through) [/quote]
from the video looks like the failure originated at the connection on the bow , you can see it wobbling pre beam failure[/quote]Good eye. I was about to mention the same thing.
The wobbling was there on the port bow on both tacks. As if some loose component was stretching that side constantly and led to a connection failure. There appeared to be plenty of prebend, so the folding may have been collateral damage. Wish the GoPro had been on the other bow...
Not disputing the moral of the story though, and it doesn't spoil my enjoyment of that clip, one bit. 8-) Thanks Leebow.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by nohuhu on Jul 01, 2017 - 11:01 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
