Hi All,

We are in the process of redoing the interior and exterior of our E25+
I'm trying to find a rig person that can help me assess the condition of my standing rigging,
on the meantime, I'm trying to learn about the following:

_sorry in advance for not knowing all the terminology_

the set of two shrouds that are forward, are connected on the portside to a plate that's connected to a shaft, and on the starboard side, are connected to a plate that's attached with a chainplate to the bulkhead.

the shourds that are aft, are connected to a plate that's bolted to the deck, and belowdeck, there's a thick half inch, probably (Aluminum?) Plate. on the starboard side, the plate is big, like 8x8 inches, but on the portside it's a small plate, that got corroted, and I would like to replace.

All that being said, what's the name of the plate, and where do you usually find a replacement for this.

Thanks in advance!

It's a backing plate. Get the dimensions and visit McMaster-Carr online for a replacement.

I ordered a 1" thick block to make a plug for the base of my mast.Hinged Base IV (640x480).jpg I believe that it was 6061.
