Well, my 5.20 mast (5 years old) broke a few monhs ago when turning the cambers.... It must have been a weak spot in the mast. Unfortunately this can happen with new masts as well 🤷♂🤙
I had a boom break whilst sailing on the sea and it took nearly an hour to swim to shore. It's not nice having equiptment fail out of the blue. Good that it was only the mast and he was fine.
@@windsurfing_is_a_way_of_life It was an incoming tide luckily. I would of been in trouble otherwise. Coastguard was waiting for me as I reached the beach to make sure I was ok and to see what happened. They were ready to launch a rescue.
It was a brand new SDM mast, but not the original. As I understood it, the mast was too long and has been cut short to the right size. With these kind of sails I would always go for the original with the correct flexibility. 🤙
Ouch, en was er niemand die je een handje kwam helpen? Ik heb, toen dit gebeurde, nog contact geprobeerd te leggen met een klein motorbootje. Maar die was te druk met de waterskier 🤷♂. Hopelijk had je verder geen schade aan je zeil.
Gelukkig geen schade aan het zeil. Gebeurde ter hoogte van de surfshop. Was ook op zoek naar het bootje wat daar rondvaart maar was al druk bezig met iemand anders.Besloot toen maar om te zwemmen.stond redelijk dichtbij jullie met de auto geparkeerd. Maar heb toen de spullen via de boot helling daar bij het terras op de kant gelegd. Ben de auto gaan halen om alles in te laden 😁
@@andreroks8963 Ah gelukkig maar. Zo heeft Boris het uiteindelijk ook gedaan. Hij stond met de auto naast ons, wist ik niet 🙂. Hij is bij de haven op de punt aan de kant gegaan. Daar afgetuigd en auto opgehaald. In dit soort gevallen wel t makkelijkste om te doen.
I broke my mast last year. Wasn't too far out and it was an onshore wind thankfully. It's a bad time when it happens though!! ua-cam.com/video/BNdfEO7JO1U/v-deo.html

How did it broke with almost no wind!! Strange!

That's tough, to swim an hour to the shore. Glad you made it safely.

@@timhumphreys3057 Good to know that the coastguard was waiting over you. What an experience🤙
Always nice to make friends on the water side 🤩🤙
Jeps, always 😅🤙🤙🤙
I was very pleased to meet you passionate locals at the brouwersdam. I will be back in mid June with a new mast.😉🤙Thanks for the coffees
@@unclebo6323 I will tell Peter about the coffee and see you soon again on the waterside 👍🤙
He was lucky not to damage his sail. It took me a week to repair mine. 😭
Ouch, that hurts mate
@@windsurfing_is_a_way_of_life Exactly
Wow luckily nothing happened to him even in light wind conditions
How old was the mast? SDM or RDM?

Great thank‘s to Jan again for helping me immediately. Otherwise it would have been very unpleasent for me to get back to land.😊
@@unclebo6323 That would have been a challenge....🤙
Een dagje eerder gebeurde bij mij hetzelfde. Duurde 20 minuten om naar de kant te komen 😢.
