My '75 had her chainplate eyebolt break off WHILE SHE WAS AT THE DOCK. The only tell tale sign of impending failure was a slight rust discoloration at the chainplate/deck joint. Needless to say, all eyebolts have been replaced with u-bolts.

Winds in the high teens gusts in the mid 20's relatively flat seas. SIDRA had just dipped our stern, then her port aft lower pulled out of the deck..he was carrying full 150& main and beating . Haven't spoke to the owner yet, looks like it pulled right through the deck.

Looks like it could be Tide, but I don't remember them loosing their rig. Looks like it could be Rickells on the bow and the sail number makes sense, but the green sail?
