It's very hard to get it perfectly straight again. There are a lot of methods to get it close - using a couple of trees close together as a bending jig, weighting the mast with sandbags (while supported on sawhorses), etc. The easiest (but not the cheapest) way to fix it straight if the bend is above the hounds is to Comptip the mast. You cut off the bent part and replace it with the Comptip. Hobie Cat encourages dealers to sell the Comptips at cost for first-time retrofits. |

What?....how the heck can anyone have luck like that? LOL...well I don't know how you're leading your life but it appears you're doing it right! My boy's new 14 has a bananna mast...think I could run it to you for a couple weeks and see if you can have a repeat performance? |
