Europa-List: outrigger leg broke

I have been using a different material for my outriggers for the last 6 
years without issue.  I chose to go with MDS (molybdenum disulfide) fill
ed Nylon 6/6 material.  The material is available on line from a number 
or vendors; I purchased mine from McMaster Carr.  The material is very f
lexible, supposedly has good impact strength and is less subject to UV d
egradation than other materials.  I have yet to break a leg.  You might 
also try and scallop the back face of OR1 in attempt to reduce the stres
s riser.
