[Rhodes22-list] Oooooo my first storm damage!

[Tom Van Heule]

Thanks for the replies, hopefully this helps the knowledge base....

The main sail, not the headsail/jib/Genoa/jenny, broke from the boom car.
The sail in the IMF, running aft on the boom is what broke loose.  The
outhaul car shackle to the main sail clew (IMF rig) broke.  My fix should
be a new piece of SS to couple the sail clew to the outhaul car.
 Everything else seemed ok.
