Product Information

Google West Epoxy or Fibre Glast 2000 resin for details but I am sure there are European equivalents. On starboard side a major part of the wooden cover is therefore destroyed and will have to be rebuild. The very two chain plates which have caused the core in the beams to partially disintegrate have done much more damage to the roof.

This distributes the load across the hull, making it possible for a somewhat lighter hull to support the load of the shrouds and stays. On port side it´s the chain plate of the lower shroud on starboard side it´s the shroud coming directly over the spreader down which is leaking.

Lead times are shown on the product and trolley pages and are always advertised in working days (Monday to Friday). Depending on the strength of the winds and if the boat is on starboard- or port-tack, the shrouds will have to cope with very different amounts of strain.

One end of the chainplate is normally fastened to a turnbuckle which is connected to the shroud or stay, whereas the remainder of the chainplate normally has multiple holes that are bolted to the hull, or the chains. Over the years (55+) surveying, I inspected many dismastings and partials because of partial and full bulkheads shreading apart, the ones that did retain the rig was only because the chain plate bolts caught on the bottom side of the deck.
