Just found a frayed upper rear cable on my wing! When was the last time you had a good look at yours?

This is the cable that attaches the kingpost to the rear of the keel on an Air Creation iXess 15 wing. I was removing thecable to recover some damaged plastic coating last weekend and I noticed some damaged cable on the lower end. Its located at the juncture of the rear of the keel and shares an attachment point with the haul back cables, all of which is partially covered by a leather boot that protects the sail from the cables when the wing is folded up. 

Here the arrow shows the location of the damaged portion shown above. It was very difficult to see when assembled. Glad I had a closer look!
