Inner forestay fitting

I have decided  to rig  an inner forestay. The major task required to add an inner forestay is fabricating and installing the deck fitting to which the bottom end of the stay  will be attached. The ideal location of the deck attachment  on the Caleuche would be  right  above the anchor locker bulkhead and just aft of the anchor well. This will allow you to run  a chainplate to the bulkhead and have a really solid structure. The deck fitting and the backing plate are bolted  together through the deck. Below deck, all is backed up by  a tie-rod that will help transfer the load to the hull.
