E39 Encapsulated Chainplate Picture

Just thought I'd post up a sidelit picture of our chainplate attachment to the hull. The lower aft is to the left, the upper is to the right. The lower forward chainplate is bolted to the bulkhead a bit further forward from this.

I'm not sure why the lower aft goes further down the hull, the load is significantly less. Anyway, it is in it's 47th year of holding up the mast and survived the strains of a dismasting before we came along. I'm hoping for another 47.
