Default No worries

Hi Gleb,

I wouldn't worry about a shockload from the hole being slightly big. But I'm glad to see you decided on chainplates instead of the cleats, since the big issue with cleats is not with them but with leading the bridle (or dockline) for that matter, over the rail with no chafe. Many drogues and parachute anchors have been lost due to chafe, so the ability to lead a bridle fairly to your drogue is of great importance.
