Ah, good point. The halyard block is off center to starboard. I did not
account for that, but I think it's still pretty close. I'll try
attaching a photo. I have to climb it again this spring... the windex
offset is bent again and I dropped the spinnaker halyard this fall. So,
maybe, I'll measure. I need to replace the windex mount. This is the
second time a fat bird has bent it.
As for the chainplates, I mis-spoke/typed. I did core repairs around
the chainplates last spring. The rot was 3-4" forward and 12-16" aft on
both sides, as well as in the cabintop around the winches & rope
clutches.

?
tape measure makes more sense for sure. i do notice halyard
stretch, when measuring do you account for the fact that the halyard is
off center from the mast centerline?
also, you mentioned a chainplate repair. anything we need to double
check for? did you have any visible chainplate leaks into the cabin? I
don't see any leaks, but do need to remove the covers to check the
plate condition between the deck. I remember changing chainplates on my
1973 Tanzer 22- i went to a local machine shop - owned by a local
sailor - he fabricate plates for $75.
