Replying to: Chain plate supports allowed? Spare masts in Sydney? Hello all, I'm new to 125's and need some advice on the measurement rules. I have an older timber 125 (2417 Ariel) that has a of problem when sailing. It won't hold rig tension as the sides of the boat bend toward each other when the chain plates are loaded. Am I allowed within the rules to glue a triangular support made of 9mm plywood inside the hull running up the side of the hull at the chain plate and across the top of the bouyancy tank to its inner edge, following the line from the chain plate to the mast step? I tried to upload a jpeg photo of a cardboard cutout where I propose to put the plywood support, but I'm not sure it's working. I could also use a 2nd hand mast if anybody in Sydney has one. Thanks, Goughy
