Hi Shills, Good post and probably an excellent reminder to many an offshore sailor. I am in the process of swapping chainplates on an almost 20 yo offshore vessel, a Valiant 42. I believe that CP 's should be swapped out for new (or removed and inspected) on a regular basis as regular maintenance item, like the standing rigging. I am also very impressed that any 42 yo offshore boat would be bone dry on an offshore passage. Thanks for the field report. My best, Dick Stevenson, s/v Alchemy
