Nevin's response to my report:
I think your report is reasonable. I should point out that it is
true that the boom front end failures are most accute in San
Francisco Bay area. This is a combination of improper front ends
arriving to SF, the particular chop, and big sails in big winds.
The warranty rate is no where near 10%-20%, even in SF bay.
Unfortunately a broken front end is way more dramatic, un-fun, and
noticeable than all the Fiberspar booms intact that are pleasantly
sailing around, so it may seem that the problem is bigger than it
is.
