Chainplates on

We had the chainplates made up by our Boatyard, in 316 SS to our design.

We had previously cut the slots in the sheer clamp for them.
Then Noel made up some wooden blocks for them to fit inside the hull just below the sheer clamp.
Noel did a great job on this using what we call our "cool tool".

Noel does a neat job

Peek-a-booh.... Chainplate ready to take the standing rigging

Next, and nearly final, job: fit the mast and boom and running rigging.

LATER: Below, photo just in from Noel, a second-hand mast and boom from the yacht club:

A present from our Boatyard.  Second-hand Laser Mast and Boom
Still looking for the spreaders that go with this....
