Too much downhaul on too stiff a mast = break?
Im starting to think that using too much downhaul on a mast that was too stiff / long was why the mast went yesterday..ok it was 2nd hand but no worries ever before..Also would that cause the sail to feel dead..powerless & uncomfortable?
I was using a 430 in my 5m 2005 Sailworks revo that says it needs a 400. Ive always used that but never used enough downhaul before. I had the leech loose several panels down yesterday..
