Mack; thanks for sending the photos...they are definitely not the shroud chain
plates; I looked at several late 70s and 1980 34s on Yachtworld and none of
those boats had the chain plates in your photos...which leads me to believe
they were likely added to prevent twisting or pulling the deck at the jib
tracks...as you surmised; they will clearly need to be removed and
re-bedded...factor that expense in your bid... good luck, the 34 is a nice
boat and worth the effort.... !

Subject: Stus-List C&C 34 aluminum plates on bulkhead
Hi everyone!
I'm seriously considering purchasing a 1980 C&C 34. I have yet to make
an in-person inspection, as the boat is 4 hours away, but in pictures I
notice attached to the partial bulkheads which separate the settees from
the galley/nav area there are what appear to be chainplates. Those
aluminum plates are rather far aft for any standing rigging. Their
purpose, I reckon, is to reinforce the genoa track (correct me if I'm
way off, and these are distinguished from the aluminum tubes which, I
suppose, reinforce the mainsheet traveler. So, here's my question:
there is noticeable water incursion, as there is some streaking on the
port bulkhead below the "chainplate." I assume I need to be prepared for
deck core rot, and possible rot in the teak plywood of the bulkhead. The
extent of any rot, if it requires the replacement of that bulkhead, may
be a deal-breaker. Thoughts? Am I on the right track?
Thanks,
Mack
