Think you made a smashing job of that daggerplate. It's seldom that even a professional boat builder would go to that much trouble. Well done.

When the winds before the rain, soon you may make sail again, but when the rain's before the wind, tops'l sheets and halyards mind

A friend of mine has a small sailing boat, on a trip out of Abersoch he was unfortunate enough to lose his drop down dagger plate.
He was unable to obtain a replacement so I made a new one.
It is made of laminated iroko timber. Encased within each laminate is a strip of one inch square lead. It weighs in at about 80kg.
After laminating up and taking to shape it was glassfibered and resin coated.
