I had a turnbuckle fail on an all-rod rigging 42' sloop which had been sailed hard in the Caribbean. My boat. A picture of the failed turnbuckle is on page 41 in Bill Seifert's excellent book, Offshore Sailing. Sorry I don't have a copy of that pic to post here.
Crevice corrosion can and does affect turnbuckles, chainplates, and other parts of your standing rigging.
