[Rhodes22-list] Chainplate access

It turns out my '93 has the right angle tang design with 2 screws holding
it to the underside of the cabin top plywood core.  Gained access by
removing the hatch over the head.

No core rot.  One screw was sheared, probably when the forestay pin failed
10 years ago.  Since then, the other screw has been slowly tearing through
the wood while the tang re-bent.

I'm going to have the pros cut out and replace the sliver of core
supporting the block.  They will secure the chainplate with screw tapped
through the liner, hiding them with the hatch cover framing.
