I'm having a rigging inspection done on my E-33. Before doing that, I thought I would look to see what parts of the internal chainplate mechanism can be inspected. I didn't see any pictures of this on the survey report, so I guess it wasn't done.. As it turns out, it is not so simple...
The chainplate for the shrouds connects to rods inside the boat that terminates in the hull at what looks like a connection to a tube embedded in the fiberglass. it looks like the tubes also protrude various amounts. Anyone know how this is works ? The photos are the best I can do holding an iPhone inside a small hatch. The hatch is at the bottom of a sliding cabinet near the water tank on starboard and waste tank on port. ( they are not easily accessible) . First photo shows starboard side, second port and third is the rods from the chainplate going into the hull. the little sliding cabinet has a floor/hatch that can be removed. If you reach far enough with the camera (on self-timer), you can get photos.
