How we made our OLD boat SAFER - And you can too!

We're replacing our chainplates to update the rigging on Anticipation! Chainplates are a critical piece of sailboat hardware, when they fail the mast can come down. It's a safety issue for sailors that can strike without warning if you're not careful. Do you know what your chainplates look like? It can be such a simple job to replace them, there's no reason to let them get this bad. Make sure you subscribe to see more of this restoration of our Gulfstar 41 sailboat!
