Until about 18:45 last night I had a Neil Pryde UJ that I bought in February brand new.

It's been sailed a fair bit at the end of last season, and the beginning of this one, but last night the bastard snapped clean off, taking with it both pieces of back-up string and I went for a swim!

It's not like I wave sail or give my UJ exceptional punishment. I do some freestyle, and some jumping, but nothing seriously stressful. I seriously do not expect a UJ to die that early in it's life.

Anyone else had this problem, or am I just unlucky? Also, anyone got any thoughts on a replacement brand? Not overly happy about getting another Pryde one....
