Bill,
The third shroud is from the broken
u-bolt, just a temporary secure until I can get the bolt replaced.
Does anyone have a number for D & R or
know if they have an on-line source?
Thanks for the heads up, I really should
have pulled all of mine many years ago also.

John,
It's interesting that your boat appears to have three
shrouds attaching at this dual-chainplate. My boat
only has two shrouds attaching there: the cap shroud
and upper-middle. My lower-fwd set go to separate
chainplates on the deck (about 1.5' forward) and my
lower-aft shrouds go to separate chainplates 1.5' aft
of the double u-bolt. I pulled all of my u-bolts out
a couple years ago and didn't see any corrosion/rust.
As to replacing the u-bolts, I would think that a
rigger in your area may know a good source. You might
also want to try D&R Marine ( New
Bedford , MA ) as they
seem to have a lot of parts for Cal s
and Odays.
Rig-Rite might be another source.
