You can add C) wire attachment failure, ie. swage fittings.  #411 two years
ago lost the mast when an original (nearly 30 year old) swage fitting on a
lower litterally broke in half.  It looked like someone had sliced it with a
razor.  The wire, also original vintage, was still intact!  In thinking
about all these changes, don't forget this is a ONE DESIGN boat and while
you may not race it today, that could change and/or a potential buyer may
want to.
