ronbo1 is on a distinguished road
In the last couple years there have been carbon mast failures of some high profile boats/ people that hasn't been widely publicized.

Oyster Company's owner lost his mast on a rally to Antigua.

A Morris 45' skippered by Cuyler Morris was dismasted off the FL coast.

I believe it was reported that wind conditions were minimal at the time.
Makes you wonder...
