hello,
we are preparing our sailboat for starting our 2nd season,
I just noticed the chain plate on port side had leak, plywood is a bit rotten,
I took pictures but forgot my mobile into the boat, I will update with pictures...
Actually mast is on.
I'm wondering if it's possible to apply a quick fix for the coming year (phase 1)?
and then I'm ready to replace the entire wall (pĥase 2) - remember how the chain plate are in H25.5 ?
Starboard side is in much better shape, but I plan to re-new it also in phase 2.
is a quick fix like this can do?
adding a 1/8"thick SS plate, 2' wide 1'height back to the chain plate
is it possible to remove chain plate without removing the mast ?
any hints, suggestions are very welcome
many thanks
