Last night at anchor the starboard chainplate started groaning and popping. It continued the following day under sail. What has happened and what might be the cure?

Not good

You need to carefully check that thing for separation before you go sailing again. Noises like that are worrisome. Also check the shroud tension. MC

I should have mentioned it is a 30T that has all three shrouds mounted on one chainplate. Shroud tension is great, there is no visible separation anywhere, and the noies is more annoying than it is worrisome.
