Issue with gooseneck on mast
The metal receiving bracket on the boom was not finished well at the factory. Leaving sharp edges all the way around the bracket. I removed the bracket and filed to smooth the edges. This really should have been done prior to delivery. This, I found, is the issue and thing that cut the sail at the luff. I repaired with sail tape, see earlier post, but it still wore a hole through the tape on the next sail. I did not notice any further damage done on my sail yesterday. Hopefully this resolves the issue and I will need to take the main sail to a sail shop to have repaired. Hopefully, I will be reimbursed for this by the manufacturer!
