This is something that I have concerns about but the prospect of removing the chainplates for a look and see is daunting.

But instead of doing it right he opted for simply filling up the hole between the two GRP-layers of the roof with soft silicone. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Normally I would say, most handyman carpenters could do most bulkhead replacements, but this one is very convoluted and will come apart and go back together like a puzzle. The very two chain plates which have caused the core in the beams to partially disintegrate have done much more damage to the roof.

Eventually I had them disassembled and took of the counterparts of the chain plates and had a look: Though made of stainless steel I could spot a lot of rust but I´m pretty confident that this is just superficial and wouldn´t be a problem to remove.

A lot more made it onto the list during work, I guess that´s the normal way when digging deeper and deeper into the bowels of an old ship. I like the design of my boat, the space, and the way it handle in rough weather, and I like to keep it if possible. On starboard side a major part of the wooden cover is therefore destroyed and will have to be rebuild. But that´s a different story, part 2 of the refit of my sailing yacht´s chain plates, shrouds and terminals will come soon – up until part 3 that will show how I assemble everything back in place, seal off the chain plates both from the outside and the inside, apply a layer of anti-rust paint onto the chain plates and thus finally having completed another task in the to do list of my yacht´s refit program. And having water coming down the chain plates, having seen some of the bolts covered in silicone I had the impression that maybe some of the moisture did as well creep into the wooden core of the sandwich-construction.I don't like to have any future accidents due to this issue, can you please advise me about my options? Honestly it'll be better, and probably easier, to replace the whole piece rather than trying to scarf in a section. One end of the chainplate is normally fastened to a turnbuckle which is connected to the shroud or stay, whereas the remainder of the chainplate normally has multiple holes that are bolted to the hull, or the chains.

Water on the chainplate without the presence of sufficient oxygen can cause inter granular corrosion of the stainless.If I want to remove and replace the piece of wood on both sides, what kind of solid wood would bond better to the side of the hull?
