Thom,

The boat was originally put in service in 1999, but only sailed a few times, then stored in a warehouse for two years. After we bought it last September, it was completely overhauled and rebuilt this past winter. Tom Haberman came down and tuned it for us, so I know it was right. The boat is basically a 2003 model now. While we were sailing, I definitely heard a pop or more like a small gun going off right before we lost everything. The small diamond wire pulled out at the tang. Everything else was in tact.

Thanks for the offer to sail. It looks like we'll have another mast in two weeeks one way or another. We have a couple of things going on that.
