Just put the them in a vice and bend them that way before you attach them, 2mm is no match for a hammer. You can bend them with a pliers once there in also but dosen’t work as well

Thanks for the advice, they were easier to bend than I expected.

Thanks for posting that Chris, it’s very useful information.

I was interested to see that your shrouds attach to saddles on the gunwale instead of chainplates. Does your boat have some additional reinforcement in that area to spread the load from the shrouds?

I wonder if the same approach would work on a ply sabre as I’ve no idea how I’m going to bend my chainplates (2mm thick stainless steel) to match the angle of the shrouds.

Thanks,

Jamie
