We had a similar problem last month, and got a helpful response from Mary Lou Troy, copied here:

"Looks like your chainplate is no longer properly attached. Hopefully 
someone with some experience with this will speak up. I do remember 
it being discussed on the list so a search of the archives might turn 
up something. I found this one:

and this one
http://www.rhodes22.org/pipermail/rhodes22-list/2007-June/041943.html
and didn't look any further. There's probably more. I did a Google 
search for:  chainplate site:rhodes22.org
Once you find a relevant message you can go to that month in archives 
at Rhodes22.org and see the entire discussion.

I searched through the archives for other information or ideas, but these seemed to be the best.  I have 
not yet attempted to repair this.

After a windy sail with my daughter this morning I noticed that the
starboard aft chainplate
is beginning to pull out of it's support.  The chainplate appears to have
pulled up
about 1/4" and pulled the cover and two screws out.  I did not have time to
look at
the problem in detail, we had to leave the boat fairly quickly.  I just
tried to tape it over enough to prevent further water infiltration.

Has anyone had a similar problem?  How are these chainplates attached to the
boat.  It
looks like I would have to cut through the cabin liner between the windows
to get to the
chainplate.  is that correct.  Any help or advice would be appreciated.
