Standard Chainplates

Standard Chainplates (Flat & Angled)
Standard Chainplates are made from strap or plate stock. Flat (un-bent) Chainplates are most commonly used for shrouds but are sometimes used in Forestay and Backstay applications. Angled Chainplates are similar, but with 1 or 2 bends, and are most commonly used in Headstay and Backstay applications but are sometimes used for shrouds. Please note that if an Angled Chainplate is otherwise suitable for your application, the angle can frequently be modified to suit. Standard Flat Chainplates and Angled Chainplates are listed below by the size of the Pin they are attached to the rigging with. If you require Standard Chainplates not listed here, we stock some others and are able to fabricate a variety of Custom ones, please forward a sketch with complete measurements and details for a quote.
