Hi,
I managed to capsize recently and stuck my mast in the sand. I’ve ended up bending the top section at the collar. I’ve figured out how to straighten the mast OK. The problem is that it bends back straight away when I go sailing – presumably when I pull the vang on. I’ve decided the best remedy is to straighten the mast again, and then end to end the top section.
Does anyone know the best way of getting the cap off the top of the top section? It seems awfully hard to get it moving.
Any ideas or hints appreciated.
Cheers,
