Tip : Chainplates or Turnbuckle?

• Both the chain plate version and turnbuckle version feature chain plate connections beneath drum, the turnbuckle version is simply a shorter chainplate with the main adjustment effected by the turnbuckle.
• Most sailing boats are equipped with chainplates to fasten the forestay to the stem fitting. Chainplates come with several holes which facilitates the adjustment of the standing rigging. The use of chainplates also allows to position the tack point as low as possible.
• The turnbuckle version allows for more accurate rigging adjustments. However, the tack point will have to be positionned slightly higher depending on the turnbuckle size.
