I went and looked at a Hunter 31 today and for the most part - everything looks to be in serviceable condition and well cared for.
But I did come across one thing that has me scratching my head.
Both chainplate tie-rods. I was able to wiggle them at the bottom - both fore and aft.
I'm not sure how this is set up. So I was hoping for a little assistance. I'm pretty sure something is a miss - but the owner mentioned that they stiffen up when the mast is stepped.
I'm going to go back out and have another look. But if it should turn out to be the worst scenario - what sort of work is it to repair the anchor itself?
