A key feature of this vessel is her strength.
To achieve this the chain plates have been redesigned in stainless steel to distribute the load of the rig to the entire hull and keel.
Each chain plate is reinforced in a ring frame by an individual beam, knee and laminated iroko frame and then the plates extend in one piece to the mast foot. The conventionally laid teak deck is supported by beams, knees, covering board beam shelves and king plank.

This boat was not just restored to her original beauty. Which is doubtless the case here.
But more than that during the restoration she was taken to the next level when it came to re-design all load taking elements.
Hereto please read carefully the part ?Construcction?.
As the bronze fittings were either missing or defective, they had almost all to be renewed.
Not from the shelf, but forms were made and all was specially cast, so that all fittings have the same grade bronze, the same age and looks, the same quality, and finally they do all match the owners expectations when it comes to safety.
If you really do look for a proven winner that was restored with extraordinary care,
MARIGAN certainly fits the bill.
