chainplate calculations for a jordan drogue

[asdf777]

Thanks! I'm hoping to put chainplates on the blue strip, but the hull to deck joint may interfere - the bolts are sticking out quite a bit, at least an inch. The only opening to this hull area is through lazarette, and access may be problematic.



The only other consideration is using these chainplates for anchoring from the stern.

The hull thickness (top sides) is 1/8" - 3/16". Most likely 3/16" the way I remember it.

G10 seems like an excellent suggestion! I'm thinking 1/4" thick, 2" wider as you said.

So would 316 SS 1.5" x 3/8" x 12" be better than 2" x 1/4" x 12?

How about grade 2 titanium? SS 316 or grade 2 Ti? I'd be curious to play with titanium, but grade 5 is not practical cost wise.

Thank you!
