Chainplate Rebedding
Richie
We have a 1986 C34 also.
The tasks are:
-loosen the turnbuckle maybe 5 minutes, tops
-remove the pins and cotter rings 10 minutes
-take off the rectangular top (two screws) 1 minute
-in the cabin, loosen the bolt 2 minutes
-remove the old sealant - depends on how bad it is, say 20 minutes
-put in the new sealant upstairs and down 10 minutes
-tighten bolts and replace cover plate 5 minutes
- come back the next day to do finish tightening after sealant has set 2 minutes
I haven't done the math, since this typing box is so small, but you get the idea. That's per chainplate. Unless you have some severe time restrictions, why not just go for a 1/2 hour shorter sail, and do one at a time or at least two at a time. It's pretty easy.
Good luck,
Stu
