Bow forestay repair
Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:18 pm
The bow ring and SS tang pulled out of the bow on our Telstar 28, Cathyalan. In April I'm going to start fixing it with some expert help. I need some photos and some exacting measurements so I can get the SS tang that attaches to the bow and the forestay attaches to, installed properly.
Essentially I need the angle at the top of the SS tang (since my bar was mis-shapen in the accident), the distance from deck to top of bar, and maybe a couple side pictures of an intact SS tang.
The tang did get mis-shapen and I am wondering if I will have any strength issues after I re-shape it? Where can I get a new one if need be?
Hope you can help us out here.
I tried to send pictures but got this error when I tried: Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.
