Ericson and Camper Nicholson also used glassed-in stainless steel chainplates that can be a major pain to replace. My 35-2 appears to be leak-free at the chainplates, but this thread has me thinking I need to check them again. The only leak we've had lately is the centre stand-up block behind the mast - since leading my new vang through it, it began leaking this summer, but butyl has cured it nicely. I guess the vang line placed more stress on the block than the mainsheet that was previously lead through it.
