You might want to have a machine shop do the bending--I doubt the usual home workshop tools will do the job. Perhaps if you apply heat you might get it done but bending a 3/8" piece of SS is not for the faint of heart! I always take such SS jobs to a shop--they can do it easily and usually for a fraction, sometimes nothing, of a boat buck. Charlie Nelson Water Phantom C&C 36 XL/kcb [email protected]

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. David F.
