Home>Technical>Broken shrouds and spreaders
22/06/2016 11:50:19 Mark Harrison Posts: 117	I recently broke a shroud, I was on a fairly tight reach with the kite up, and it went with a big bang! The mast shot forward but was ok and I dropped the kite to the finish. When I went to put the new ones on I found the shroud ends had worn so much that the little nib that holds the shroud cap in place broke off (see pic). I managed to find 2 old ends in the spreaders I took off a broken 200 mast and put them on so that the shroud now goes through the unworn other side of the plate. I also noticed that the shroud caps are for both 3 and 2.5 mm wire (marked on the end of the cap) depending on the way round they are put on and I wondered if because I had them in the 3mm slot wheither this had contributed to the wear. The 100 has 2.5mm shrouds. I will be looking out for old masts I can rob the spreader ends out of in future to replace the ones on the boat. My spreader ends are 5 1/2 years old and shrouds were just under 2 years old. Tweet

Mine gave up on the upper ferrules there to stop the should moving too far on the spreader - I am sure these things create a week point, particularly if you take off ad coil the sounds when travelling as I do (a consequence of rig-switching as well as not wanting them scratching the mast Tweet
