Is that 10 Fibersnaps in one year? ;-) Hee, hee, sorry, couldn't

P.S. I've had bad luck with Fiberspar masts and booms, but I do have
one of their carbon bases, which has held up very well. The position
of the cleat is bad though, you tend to drag the downhaul rope
through it while downhauling, which eats the rope rapidly.
