CHAPTER VIII
CHAINPLATES
When the lead laminations are completed, we!
recommend that you proceed with the installation of the!
chainplates.!
ANGLES!
The proper angle to install the chainplates is!
indicated on the Sail Plan and Deck Plan. Transferring the!
proper angle can be done easily with a level that has a!
graduated moving centre. It actually indicates the number of!
degrees away from perpendicular. These levels are available in!
any hardware store.!
CLEANING!
Before installing the chainplates, they must be!
thoroughly cleaned to remove all trace of grease or oil,!
which could prevent polysulphite from adhering to their!
surface. Polysulphate is used to seal the chainplates at!
deck level.!
ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR!
We recommend that a copper electrical connector for f} 8 wire be installed on the bottom
bolt of the chainplate on the chainplate side (not on the backing plate side).!
