So im sailing in my clubs fall series and for the second weekend in a row someones mast step failed. Last week was 6 knots and this week was 15 with gusts to 22. One boat was a 90' and the other early 80's. I have a 93' and im starting to worry a little. I noticed there was a crack at the bottom of the step but im not sure if it was the previous owner fixing it. It has a porthole next to the trunk installed (not factory). What are some signs to look for that this may come or some ways to prevent it.
I can post pictures if that would help at all. The boat has some residual water that comes in through the screws on the rails but none comes out when its draining the inside just looks like its normal humid self.
I got the boat in June for $1000 in great shape with all the upgrades ,dolly, an old sail and I put a new legal sail on it for racing.
