Nice wind to start with, then strengthened as we came up to the cape, we decided to go downwind to reef to try this, all went ok until we started to put pressure on the main halyard to tighten up mainsail after reefing. POP!
Port deck organiser broke off the deck, luckily no one was injured or any other damage. 
After ascertaining that we could not sail any further we contacted SW, Mithat and they directed us to go to Cigalek port where we can get help. So into the wind under motor for 2 hours and we were there. 
Great service, Kivançs friend came out, inspected, part was sent from factory along with longer bolts and within 2.5 hours all was fixed. 
Bolts were too short for deck organiser to fully screw into aluminum plate bonded into deck. Fixed and away to nearby bay and lovely dinner in restaurant.
