Post subject: | Straightening a Bent Sail Mast |
After over tightening the strays, I've ended up with a bowed mast. I've tried straightening each section in a vice but it remains bowed. Any tips on straightening the mast? And or advice on how to strengthen it to prevent damage in the future. Cheers Mick |

Each connection point will bow a bit adding up to what would appear a bent mast I suppose. When you sail, the mast section bends anyway... not critical to performance. |
