mainsail outhaul

As we were sitting around watching Antoine cook dinner we heard a loud snapping sound. We went out to investigate but didn't see anything alarming. Then we heard the same noise again coming from the boom. We noticed that the mainsail clew was not pulled out to the end of the boom like it should be. The outhaul bracket had snapped its rivets, probably due to metal fatigue.
We had a fix in place within the hour. Hardly slowed us down at all as we didn't stop the boat for the repair.
The only downside was that dinner was delayed... but it was fantastic as always - fish tacos with homemade tortillas (of course)!
