[C320-list] Chainplate adjustment

[Dan Winsor]

The chainplate extension rods that are visible in the saloon have washers
and nuts on them to increase the strength by pulling from the deck and the
interior structure. Is there any procedure or guidance on tightening the
nuts? Obviously what is loose when in the yard with rig down is tight when
floating with rig tensioned. I would guess that the ideal would be to share
the load equally between deck and cabin but how is that accomplished? 🤔
