How did we get from Anchoring to Chain Plates?

Just askin'. One of the features of The List is that a Rhodie can search the Archives by subject. If I were searching for Upper Shroud (Actually Main Stay) I would miss a good discussion because it's buried in a thread on Anchoring!

Since I've crossed over, I don't have any stays or shrouds, but I do have an anchor (Actually three).

Hi Rick,

So, if the nut came loose and fell off, did they find the nut down behind the galley counter or maybe down in the bilge?  The nut in the picture looks like it's a nyloc locking nut meant to prevent something like this from happening.  Perhaps your nut was a conventional nut?

Hi Todd,

I expect it is the same for a '93.  When mine failed, probably the center nut came off to release the vertical tang, which is all I saw.  I didn't get a chance to see the actual repair take place so I don't know about the bolt heads.

Regards,

Rick Lange
