Fabricating and installing custom carbon fiber chainplates replaces aging stainless steel hardware on a Farrier F-25C trimaran to eliminate crevice corrosion and deck leaks.0:55 The process involves creating a composite laminate using 10 inches of Divinycell foam core, a G10 tube, biaxial fabric, and staggered layers of unidirectional carbon fiber.2:43 After vacuum bagging the laminate, the builder cuts six individual chainplates from the panel and bonds them into the hull bulkheads using epoxy fillets and additional carbon reinforcement layers.14:00 The installation requires precise alignment to maintain a five-degree rake and proper load distribution, with high-density foam added for deck anti-compression.20:44 The project also includes reinforcing the sprit socket to accommodate a Dyneema loop forestay connection.28:10 By transitioning to a bonded, unibody carbon structure, the retrofit creates a maintenance-free, lightweight system that seals the deck against water intrusion.1:25
