The last time I recall one of us lost their mast was years ago and was caused

On both my C&C 40 and my current boat I took my rigging to a professional and
had it inspected. He re-headed some pieces and on Masquerade, my current boat,
replaced the turnbuckles. But the rod is still good.

failed some time in the late 80's or early 90s (and the toggle on my boat had
not been replaced). The failure was in the connecter from the st
I believe I am sailing with original rod rigging (1975). I have been told by
some that it needs to be replaced, and I have been told by others – including
