In reply to: Richard Swire 's message, "Chain Plates" on 13/04/05 19:23:40

I had similar problem, continued to fill fracture on deck for a couple of season, this winter decided to solve the problem once and for all. I cut-out square surrounding chain plate and found a very wet ply backing plate which was obviously causing the deck to expand and fracture, fortunately there had been no movement or seepage into the bulkhead. I did'nt lower the mast to do the repair,taken babystay and main halyhard to toerail was enough to support the mast. good luck with the repair.Clive
