I have placed in the owner mods, the steps taken to replace the chain plate and support rods for both port and starboard after losing the port side due to metal failure resulting in the loss of the mast. also important to note with my insurance policy, it did not cover the failure due to "rust, corrosion and fatigue". Suggest owners check their insurance policies. In my case I was able to find a replacement mast from a hurricane damaged boat saving me quite a bit of money but the overall replacement of standing, running rigging and repairs to chain plates was extensive. any particular questions, please send me a IM.
