Add me to the failure list.........I have broken the foil on my 6.0. The strap on the end of the foil that holds the rod broke during a distance race half way into it when we went from a spinnaker run to an upwind leg. (Juana's Goodtime Regatta - 35 mile distance race) Sounded like a gun going off. As soon as the strap broke, the foil cracked in the middle under the striker. We jibed immediately, then ran the spinnaker halyard out to the bridle tang to keep the mast up, and headed downwind to Key Sailing. A new foil and $300 and we were back on the water.
