Broken Genoa halyard

[richy]

Our Genoa halyard has just broken about 30cm from the masthead end. Oddly, there appears little wear. Any suggestions why this may have happened? Is it possible a jammed swivel allowed the roller furling to impose a twisting stress causing the failure?

Halyard wrapping around the stay?

Happened to me. Cured by raising the genoa by adding a 5” strop to the tack.
