Yeah i've seen quite a few snap aswell sadly mines looking a bit ropey at the moment cos one of the rivets has come loose but im not sure whether i should leave some space for the amst to expand when it gets hot unter the cover otherwise if the rivet is in too hard it may break the mast????

One of our newer members had just bought themselves an immaculate second-hand B14, but previously they'd only really sailed Hobie cats. So one of our more experienced sailors on a windy day, offered to help them by out by helming it - and it came back looking like this! |

It wasn't really windy that day. Unfortunate circumstances happened. I think this boat capsized, the other Topper nearly went too, its mainsheet got tangled around the mast and.... SNAP! As for the sail, yep, it's an old one. But you haven't seen mine: it's a red, orange and white job, dating back to the 80s! I wonder why I want to change it... |

Here what happened to Emma, one of our Junior sailors when she tried out the new centremain on her friend Ben's Topper... He'd only spent 3 hours fitting it that morning - and it was Ben's birthday!! Poor girl was SOOOO embarrassed.... Ben found the whole adventure quite hilarious! |
