Hi,
While sailing in some really windy (18 knot) conditions at the Hyannis Regatta this past weekend I bent the top section of my Radial rig. I always let my vang off at the top mark but it could have been from death rolling a few times as well. Either way, it is bent pretty nicely.
How can I fix the bend? If I put the bent end in a vice and try to bend back the other end will it straighten it? Would you suggest end for ending the upper section and sailing with it a few times?
Any suggestions are welcome because I want to get it fixed before the Buzzard's Bay Regatta this weekend. Plus it looks really goofy too. Thanks.
