I have a 32' where I built external chain plates for the main mast. I hope to some day do the same for the mizzen mast. I didn't want the origional holes in the deck as vibration and movement caused water seepage and deck rot. Why it wasn't done when first build I don't know. The chain plates were of 1/4" stainless steel with backing plates to spread the load.

Good luck

George

Thanks George,

Can you give me more info on the backing plates, i.e., did you go larger than the chain plates?
