I came came back from a nice day of sailing in great winds and decent weather (usual for Chesapeake in July) and was washing down the hull when I noticed that the Forestay Stem Fitting / Chainplate is not looking so good. Here is a picture:

Do you have a machine shop in Annapolis area that you have used before (besides Kato)? Here is another picture of the setup: http://i.imgur.com/OmUdstE.jpg Cheers, Aaron R.
