The young princess was out in some good strong wind, testing her limits and thus of our vintage laser. Came back with a bent top mast section.
It is only slightly bent above (1 feet) the joint portion with the bottom section. Can I safely try to "un-bend" using force or am I simply going snap it? The bend is only a few degrees, more like a curve than a angled break.
As is now it is usuable but I am afraid it could (could it?) snap next time out in similar conditions (Got myself an adrelanine junky!!). Is it fixable or should I start shopping around for a new top section.
Apparently, choosing less exciting conditions do not seem acceptable to her.
Thaks for your help as usual.
