I broke a bow tang off the bow on my 95 mystere
I broke a side stay tang off 6 years ago or so.. I knew it was a matter of time before the bow tang went (http://www.thebeachcats.c…nc=viewtopic&topic=11540)
I had bow tangs fabricated a few years back when a friend had a broken bow tang on his mystere
I figured I would document it here to help anyone out in the future
I have created an album to host the images - http://www.thebeachcats.c…ictures?g2_itemId=123629
Tang broke while on the water
Rig did not fall (was held up by spin bridal)
I went out to the bow and tied off the furler to a line I wrapped around the bow
Broken Tang (and one from the other bow) -
So with the help of a friend, chisel, putty knife and crow bar .... off come the decks
Yesterday I sanded down the decklids to level off the old glue (and started sanding on the bows to level them off too) and while I had the lids off, I epoxied the bulkheads to the walls (they had some glass on them attaching them, but not a lot)
More to come ...
