Deck Hardware Prep...

All deck hardware is mounted on 1/8" G-10 Garolite plates above and
below the deck. G-10 is a glass-based phenolic that is strong,
stiff, and has high impact and compressive strength. In this photo, the
light green plate under the black organizer is G-10 Garolite.

The running backstays come forward through a tube to a turning block,
then into a clutch and then on to a winch.The turning block and the clutch are
mounted on a plywood plinth to insure the correct angles to feed into the winch.

The plywood plinth is glued to the deck in the proper position.

The plywood plinth is covered with two layers of carbon cloth,
 one layer of glass cloth then vacuum bagged.
