A FCFS ball failed on me right after we tied onto it yesterday. Didn't back down on it. Aboard a Lagoon 51. Wind was blowing 18 knots. Rope looked very old and frayed. Didnt look like it had prop damage but I could be wrong. We went and recovered it in the dinghy to claim it as a prize after getting settled. Gave it back to the gentlemen that came to collect the fee. Ill post a picture once I get to some wifi.
