Hi All,
Does anyone have technical drawings, specifications, or dimensions for the chainplates and the of said chainplates on an A38?
Thanks,

Hello Sam

I'll pick up the dimensions of the JDS chainplates on Iron Bark and get them to you in a day or two. It's blowing a gale at present with horizontal rain and spray even in a protected anchorage so too unpleasant to work on deck for longer than necessary. 

Cheers

Trevor

Hi Sam

Attached the drawing of the JDS chainplate with a few added dimensions.

The trip to Greenland was a washout - too much fog and ice, engine problems and lack of moral fibre on my part. I'll write it up and post it sometime fairly soon

Best

Trevor

Hi Trevor,

Sorry for the late reply,

Thank you very much for the diagram. It will be very helpful.

Approximately how far forward of the of the stern are your chainplates located? In my head I picture them about even with the aft end of the cockpit or a little forward and about 1/3 of the way down from the caprail between the caprail and the boot stripe.

Thanks

Hello Sam

My chain plates are level with the back of the cockpit and bolted through the bulwark. Attaching them any lower is going to make shackling the drogue on difficult, especially in the sort of weather in which the drogue is needed

I'm approaching the Portuguese coast and have just got back in mobile phone range. Twelve days from Ireland, straightforward if a bit windy. I'll be here a week or so then onwards to the Gambia perhaps via Porto Santo. After leaving Portugal my access to email will be limited by until I get to the Caribbean around new year.

Cheers

Trevor

HI Trevor,

It definitely makes more sense to have them through-bolted in bulwarks as opposed to the lower down in the hull.

I have some other questions about the drogue and other modifications but I will wait until you are back in the Caribbean.

Are you headed back to Carriacou?

Hello Sam

I'll certainly spend some time in Carriacou including hauling out to antifoul. The hurricane season arrived late and looks like finishing late so I will spend bit more time on this side of the Atlantic and not cross until December. That gives me time to sail up the Gambia River. I like the idea of cruising in company with a hippopotamus. It will certainly be warmer and one hopes less fraught that dodging ice in fog.

Cheers
