Full steam ahead

45mins in the drain pipe and I have a result. Easy to spring on and no horrible splitting noises as I tighten the screws. As Aonghas suggested I shall leave them on for a while then take them off and bed in sikaflex. Hopefully stop them from rotting from the inside out.
The second piece that I steamed is being pre bent by my anchors.
As you may have guessed by this point, I gave up all hope of an April 1st launch some time ago.
