stainless rigging wire - nick in wire
On 2007-10-07 19:44:16 -0400, said:
I've managed to put two nicks in the 1/19 stainless forestay on my 32' boat. Dont ask how, far too embarassing, suffice to say a hack saw got drawn across the wire. Nothing was cut through, but two small chunks got taken out of two strands. How dangerous is this? Dangerous enough that my only thought is to replace it. Demastings aren't any fun, and you've degraded that stay by about 20 percent. -- Jere Lull Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's new pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI pages: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
