Not the best bends or tig weld to the bow rail.
Going forward to anchor was scary single-handed at 75 years.

Defender for six fittings and the 1" SS Rail from a local scrap yard. Used a Harbor Freight hyd bender. Would make your Albin very safe for your children going forward. Your boat has come a long way. I really enjoy watching your progress!

Thanks! I already bought the pipe bender on ebay to remake the bow rails. I was given an estimate of $2500 - $3000 based on a photo of the bow rails. Ouch!
