In such conditions spade rudders and keel bolts can fail - and do fairly often.




There are many thousands of AWB's out there. Can you actually back that statement up up by informing us how many have suffered from their keels and/or rudders falling off? Other than one highly publicised Bavaria Match 35 failing, I have never heard of a catastrophic failure such as you describe. With thousands sold you would think we would have heard of hmmmm.... maybe....... say....... 250 sinkings if it's "fairly often". Surely someone at BenBavJen would have twigged that there is maybe, just maybe a design/build issue if that were the case.
