[Public-list] Dismasting!

[John Brugeman]

My suggestion would be to replace any Wilcox/Crittendon turnbuckles and any other bronze fittings that go with them.  Also make sure you pins are the proper size to fit the fitting holes.

I have been following this thread with interest, I have the original Wilcox 
Crittendon open turnbuckles, which I like, still installed.

My question is, with all these rig failures and dismastings, have the 
turnbuckles themselves been implicated? All I've seen so far are shackles, 
bulkheads, and the occasional bridge.

Thanks
