chain plates have been added

Strange, what was used before?

Flotation has been added to upper sections of the mast to provide
further resistance to "turtleing."

Just what I would want. A 26 foot boat that uses flotation in the mast to
keep from turtleing. I doubt if that would work in a 26 footer. I've only
seen that in beach cats and daysailors.
