Aluminium Chainplates
Does anyone have any experience with aluminium chainplates. As my hull is aluminium, my first choice is to weld suitable layers of aluminium on in order to spread the load and bring it all up to an eye at a convenient point. I'm pretty sure I can calculate the breaking strain required ( most seem to suggest 1.5 times the rigging) and thus the cross section, but I'm more worried about fatigue in general and wear on the eye in particular (I was thinking of a urethane bush). Any ideas welcome.
