After raising/lowering Teliki's mast several times I got around to inspecting the attachments from the underside. The bolts had pulled halfway through!!!

They now have decent backing plates.

Also - if you have roller furling, check the upper terminal. On a CDI it's hidden under the foil. When I checked Teliki, there were broken strands.
