I'm not convinced Fashion Plates is the correct terminology. Appears to me Fascia is a more accurate descriptor...
Is the marine industry so steeped in tradition that we can't update a term to better reflect it's purpose or operation? I thing Mapism got it...
I always referred to these as fascia plates. I suppose fashion plates would be appropriate if the supports are part of the aesthetic design.
