Chainplate drilling

[Douglas]

Hi Ben, T Y , for your reply as to the current price of Silicon Brnz per pound, from Atlas.

Congrats on your Cape George ownership, I always liked their boats, and hoped that they would acquire the recently available BCC and FC molds.

I will check the width of the brnz C-plates this upcoming weekend and send you the measurements,,, here on the forum.

I too used silicon bronze plate (1/4") for my boomkin and whisker stay chainplates,,, they seem to be holding up fine for the last 8 years.

I was happy to have Pete do castings for me, because he was a sailor first before being a foundry. He knows that our lives depend on his work, unlike general purpose foundrys.

In future I would have specified Aluminum-nickle bronze instead of Manganeese . I don't think Aluminum-nickle brnz comes in sheet or plate, just ingots .
