[Rhodes22-list] loose chainplate

[jimtracyjohnston at centurytel.net]

John, I had the same problem and was disappointed to learn the chain 
plate is a piece of SS bent at a 90 degree, screwed to the cabin top 
and fiber glassed into the top. I was advised there should be very 
little stress on the lower shrouds. I had the original chain plates 
removed and 3/16" SS straps secured to the side of my cabin with 
reinforced fiber glass the bolts pass through to the inside of the 
cabin.
