Left it until the last minute

I should have tackled this job a while ago, I didn't, so I'm now a month behind schedule and late going in the water, but it's been very blowy the last few weekends so I don't feel to bad about it. Anyway the job that needed doing was replacing the original 44 year old forstay chainplate which had rusted away due to a gap on the deck fitting, which has now been welded pic. The original galvanised steel plate, which was hanging on by a finger nail, was glass bonded to the hull. This was replaced with a stainless steel plate, again glass bonded to the hull and joined by a rigging screw to the deck fitting. Thanks to Peter Clarke for doing a great job on this. Peter Clarke's Boatyard  Lets hope it will last another 40 odd years. Thats it, hope to be in the water for the weekend!
