[Alberg30] Bolts on chainplates?

[Henry Sharpe]

 The failure on Yves's boat in the Roaring Fourties was the entire bracket (port side knee - front) pulling off the hull due to fibreglass failure.  I do not know if the glass itseld failed or delaminated from the attachment to the hull.  The bolts were not the issue but replacing old bolts that are under load can not hurt.  On my boat #111, the bolts did not have washers on the opposite side of the bracket (knee) from the chainplate.

anyone done this?
