() An old boat going that far? Wonder when the chainplates were replaced in the past.
The AS-50 is a good boat but the chainplates are a bit undersized and a 25 year old chainplate is beyond it's life. We know.
From our Gulfstar 50. Happened on route from Bocas Del Toro to San Andreas Colombia in 35 knots & 12 foot confused seas.
