Originally posted by Chris Noble it looks like the rig originally snapped to the other side of the hull, and the wind has cuaght it and blown it over the top of the hull and now the rig is filled, the lack of other shrouds suggested that a wire snapping was the culprit for the mast snappage, looks like its brokien in two places aswell

Dunno, I wouldn't expect a Tasar mast to break if a shroud went - its just sitting in a pin on the deck. I was womndering if it could have jumped the pin and the bit sticking up is the end of the boom.

Well they seemed to think it was rather funny!!!!!

With that much weight in a Taser no wonder the mast came down!

Wouldn't even need to snap a shroud - just let them off too much or even just the pin on the deck failing...

Wow, that's pretty awesome. Any more info? How fast was it? Was it stable?
