I really take exception to the word 'often' in the Kellys Eye's post, firstly its not true and secondly its scaremongering. The word infers a common occurence and it is not. Yes some rudders have failed on the ARC etc I am not aware of any keel bolts however. They normally fail becasue some clot has rammed the keel into something hard and clots are not only to be found in modern AWBs. I seem to recall at least two rigging failures in recent months in 'stronger boats' yet no-one is going about saying there is a design failure endemic to these types. Bearing in mind the number of miles all boats do there are bound to be failures in all types, I get fed up with people focusing on ones that seem to mitigate against modern designs. I feel totally safe in my flat bottomed plastic, easily manoeverable, fast and comfortable modern boat.!!
