Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Javi, owner of the Regina, experienced a backstay failure while crossing the Atlantic Ocean.0:59 The failure occurred at the connection point where the backstay attaches to the hull.5:51 Javi had previously installed stainless steel shackles to increase tension, but these components were not marine-grade 316 stainless steel and lacked the necessary articulation provided by a proper toggle.4:20 The lack of movement caused the metal to fatigue and eventually snap under load.5:40 Because the Regina is a cutter rig equipped with running backstays, the mast remained supported after the primary backstay failed.2:56 Javi temporarily repaired the connection using spare shackles to complete the passage, though a subsequent inspection revealed a fracture in the opposite backstay fitting as well.6:36 He ultimately replaced the failed hardware with high-quality 316 stainless steel toggles designed for standing rigging.7:44 Using non-articulated hardware in high-load standing rigging leads to metal fatigue and catastrophic failure.
