[Rhodes22-list] Scott and Detached Furlers

[john Belanger]

sorry if this sounds ignorant but though i sail with a friend on his boat i dont yet have my own. i would like to help though. can you tell me what material that tube is made from? if its pvc you might be able to restore its straightness by heating it carefully with a heat gun while the tube is squeezed between two 2 x 4's with angle iron pieces tacked to their sides lenthwise. go slow!!! dont use too much heat. on the other hand new pieces of pvc can be joined and cut to 26 feet. let me know what you end up doing. where are you located? john b

Still not having much luck finding a 26 foot tube. I am starting to consider 
going with a CDI.

I need to do something to get the boat going again.
