Haven't capsized nor intend to, but I'm curious just how robust that whole assembly is to the pressures involved. During capsizes::: Anyone break their comp tip? Anyone break the bob? Anyone have the bob attachment screws break?
Reason I'm asking is that I've screwed an aluminum plate to the sheave bracket and put a block up there for hoisting a windseeker. Windseekers normally aren't useful in anything over 8 kts wind, but I'm wondering if I could use it on a reach in bigger wind. That mast top will definitely wobble out of column (it does so now with just the mainsail), but if it can handle repeated capsize, it ought to handle it.
