Chainplates




The chainplates have arrived. These are 6mm Stainless with backing plate. We got these made up by a local metal worker to our drawings. The plate is bent to pick up the angles of the shrouds.


In order to get the chain plates at the right height we made a small jig by glue gunning some scrap bits of wood to the chain plates. We then drilled them off before adding the cockpit sides (see previous blog)

Chainplates aligned with the jig on the side deck
