Got the forward staysail and backstay chainplates test fitted. Near perfect fit. I may have to bend the staysail chainplate strap just slightly. Turned out I undersized the length of the flathead socket cap screws for these pieces. The fiberglass is much thicker here than I estimated
I will need to address some gelcoat cracking issues behind the staysail chainplate before it goes in permanently. There is also a big scrape in the gelcoat on the port side near here that will need to be filled and faired as well.
