chainplates

Am currently pulling the chainplates off my boat(tall rig, engine in the back). Found some pit corrosion in all of them, and one of them had a crack (near a welding point). I'm waiting for replacements at the moment. I was wondering if anyone here has had trouble with the glassed SS anchors that...

I'm pulling the chainplates on my Y33 tall rig for inspection in a few weeks. Has anyone replaced theirs? Does anyone have dimensions or templates? Thanks, Mike

so there was a rusting weep hole at the bottom of my starboard upper shroud chain plate that was glassed in and original from 1965, so I chopped it out, polished it up the plate looks great, there was a little moisture in the wood knee, but not a lot, the teak was in pretty good shape, the only...

I am replacing the standing rigging on my C27 Surprise and while the mast is down, I have pulled the chainplates to inspect. My lower shroud "chainplates" are 1/2" eyebolts, similar to those offered now by Catalina Direct. These are 1/2" bolts with large backing plates, and therefore are more...

Hi all I just got my 1977 Bristol 24, S/V Luna, hull 477, and her trailer, off the boat and through customs here in Chile. She was lovingly restored by her former owner, and I hope to have many pleasant days sailing her on the Chilean coast and possibly well offshore. My wife and I expect to...

Appologies for the total newbie question, but the standing rigging on our 1976 Catalina 22 has me scratching my head. I've scoured the C22 Technical Manual (and updates), as well as awesome blogs like the Catalina 22 Experiment, Chip Ford, and Christopher Jin. Unfortunately, I can't find a...

I see on my deck what look like SS covers over the chainplates where they enter the deck. How do I remove these so that I can seal under them? Thanks! John

Hi all. Mine is a 1992 Catalina Morgan 50. Two of the six chainplates are in need of replacement. Before I get to ripping out cabinets and sinks, is there anyone out there that tackled theirs? Looking for some photos, diagrams or other info to help guide the work. They are embedded in...

So I spent the other day at a steady 30-45 degree angle with a big 155 and full main spread. Very fun and lost rudder effectiveness on a few occasions but this was the unwelcome result. Port side stay anchor on my Hunter 25.5. Outside deck has a slight cracking that doesn't look to bad but...

Ahoy, I have a small glass job I need to do on my Bristol 24 sailboat. To strengthen the strbrd chainplate I need to glass in the piece of wood it currently sits on, so the stress is distributed beyond this small portion of the bulkhead. (don't worry, I'm not glassing in the actual chainplate)...
