Perhaps the preventer line was caught underneath something on the foredeck allowing the line to be drawn tight with the winch but when the wind shifted the line came free of what it was caught on and the difference in the slack caused the failure. Just a thought. Happy to hear you were able to find a replacement boom at such a reasonable cost. Enjoy Mexico! I made the trip from San Pedro to Cabo San Lucas last year around this time and it was an amazing trip. The fishing is really great south of Cedros if you follow the many offshore banks between there an cabo. We landed a couple of wahoo, dorado, yellowfin tuna and a nice yellowtail.
