[Alberg30] Back to Chainplates

[sousa, stephen]

Joe,

When I replaced the chainplates the bolt size was increased to 5/16". I used
the old chainplates as backer plates. The knees were never reworked and
seemed strong enough to with stand coastal cruising conditions. I also sail
out of the Northeast, hailing from Ipswich, MA

After increasing the chainplate bolt diameter to 5/16, I began to wonder if
I 
should have built up the attachment fillet/knees.  This after reading in 
Practical Sailors review of the A30 that many owners have done this.  They 
seemed sturdy and without rot; for Northeast coastal cruising, do you think 
this is necessary?  Your thoughts are appreciated.
