Yesterday the bottom spar of my husband's radial sail broke at the location where it meets the deck. It was funny to watch, the sail fell down in slow motion. The winds were close to 20 mph and we were having fun doing beam reaches. Luckily the winds had died down some when this happened. The bottom spar was purchased last year and hardly used. The place it broke was near where a sleeve is inserted at the vang tang.
Has the quality of spars gone down? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks.
