So on the Figawi I ask my crew to tighten the cunningham with a four part
tackle. Nothing happens. So I ask them is the tackle pulling on the
cunningham and not some stationary object. Nope, they reply, "its good". So
they take the four part tackle tail to a halyard winch and all of a sudden
there is movement. As it was 25 knots I figured it was just a high load day.
Nope. They literally bent one ear of the 3/8 thick stainless-steel mainsail
tack yoke down 180 degrees.
Doh!
Can I just re-bend it with or without heat? Will it be compromised if I do
so.
