Thanks Ken,
You’re my hero. This is great. I’ll see about fabricating locally.

I’ll let you all know how it works out.
Best,

paul

OK, this is the last drawing of the anchor platform, I hope it can be of use.

I have seen these with an added support from below. I think it needs it.

That drawing matches the design of my sprit/platform. Much stronger if
a channel is welded onto the bottom edge of the long tubes and across
the bottom of the cross bar. Make the channel out of 4″ wide 3/16″
thick plate (need to find someone with a large hydraulic press to bend
that).

Pat and all,
Attached are Pictures of Aurora’s anchor platform, as it presently exists,
and a tool that was given to me by the previous owner. The purpose of the
tool, I was told, is to permit a bent platform to be straightened without
distorting the location of the bolt flanges. In fact I used it to straighten
mine (which was bent down somewhat when I purchased the boat) before I had a
local welder fabricate the diagonal brace shown in photo.
I am not near my boat so I cannot confirm that my platform is exactly the
same as Ken shows in his drawings but from memory I am quite sure that it
is. It was original to the boat and the length of the tool at the center of
the flanges is about 29 inches – which correlates well with the 32 inch
dimension in the drawing. I would be pleased to loan it to Paul or anyone
else who might want to have a platform fabricated or straightened. I don’t
know what the shipping cost would be but for estimation purposes, the tool
weighs about 10 pounds.
