Sailing in 20 knots of wind on a beam reach with a reefed main and jib, my starboard chainplate gave way on my 1996 Hunter 430. While crushed, everyone was okay and the damage was less than I originally thought.
My question is....has anyone had (or heard of) the fiberglass chainplates giving way? Has anyone had their chainplates repaired or "beefed up"? I want to work with the insurers / riggers to ensure that this doesn't happen again. Thanks!
