I have had turn buckle bodies fail on smaller boats. One of the two rigs that I lost in my life was partially due to a failure of the the turnbuckle body on a small boat. The other resulted in a kink in the mast on a trimarran that I once owned. For some reason, I think turn buckle body failures are more common on smaller boats where the bodies are more likely to be cast and not forged or else tubular.
