[Rhodes22-list] deck mounted chain plates

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

During the rebuild of Agile I removed the chainplates for the lower shrouds
with the intention of placing external chain plates on the cabin sides.
Subsequently I changed the design doe the windows such that I now need to
install deck mounted chainplates on the cabin top. Finding the right
hardware has turned out to be a challenge. I found something that looks
close to what I need but am unsure about its suitability - see attached.
Given that the old chainplates were fairly thin tangs that were bent around
the cabin deck core it would seem that this hardware is more than sufficient
for the purpose but thought I would check the list to see if anyone has an
opinion on these or  an alternative suggestion. Does anyone have a clue what
load the lower stays place on the boat?
