Westerly Oceanmaster 48 Chainplate Failure

[Gary-Cottam]

Copy of post by vyv_cox on the YBW Forum:

"Yesterday I looked at the imminent failure of the rig due to corrosion of chainplates on an Oceanmaster 48. I do not know if any other models in the Westerly range have a similar arrangement but if so I suggest that owners need to check their condition. The full examination is shown at http://coxeng.co.uk/sails-and-rig/we...8-chainplates/"
