Stainless the higher the number the better grade the prices will also reflect this. Titanium is even better lighter weight and stronger but the prices is atleast 3 times but most likely 5 -10 times more $. If you cant find them on shelf any fabracation/machine shop can build them.

Edwin, Check this link. http://www.onlinemetals.com/stainlessguide.cfm They will sell small quantities. 316 is best for marine applications. 304 is easiest to get.

there is a post on Bion Toss Spartalk asking a question about chainplates and the answer was Titanium. You might check it out. 316 doesn't rust, 304 rusts but is stronger. The really strong shackles are 304 for example. So, saying one is better is application dependent.

To change the subject, did any one see the Lapworth 40 for sale on Craig's List last week, I think, in the Santa Barbara area where I recollect it was in the Bay swinging on a mooring? $5999 obo. I looked at some pics on the net, pretty sleek looking racer. Also see a Cal 36 in the South of Calvania on Craig's List. Or I could just feed by Cal 24 some growth hormones, but then she won't fit in her slip.

The other consideration is that the sheeting angle when using a larger jib would be comprimised by moving the chain plates out to the rail.

This is, of course, why they are not on the rail to begin with. Allen On Sun, Mar 10, 2013 at 9:46 AM, <mo… [at] aol.com> wrote: > ** > > > The other consideration is that the sheeting angle when using a larger jib > would be comprimised by moving the chain plates out to the rail. > >
