Here, you can see two of port chainplates. They are galvanized and were new on the boat within the last 8 years. Water had traveled from the deck, down this plate and where it ends, the combination of moisture from above, mixed metals and wood-to-metal condensation caused the area to rot. Diana cleaned up and painted the chain plate (an original design that some spidsgatters change - for good reason: to see them more easily) before proceeding to the "sisters" and new plank.
