[C320-list] Traveler shackle

[Mark Calisti]

Yes, happened on hull 749 a few years back in about 25 knots. Called original mfg (Garhauer) and they noted issues with this shackle. They upgraded the shackle on later models. Sent replacement out at no charge.

Hey, Mike.

In the Viagara commercial on TV, the guy sailing single-handed replaced a 
broken boom shackle while underway without even firing up the engine or 
rounding up. How difficult can it be?
