Regarding the chainplates on the 30 MK II, from the pictures at http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1987/C%26C-30-3079275/Rochester/NY/United-States#.Wd40ia2ZO8V I’d guess they attach to a fiberglass “knee” behind the settees - not to the hull directly - but to be sure you’d have to pull off the settee cushions and inspect.
In this picture of my starboard settee you can see how the chainplates attach on a 30 MK I - to a fiberglass “knee” protruding from the inside of the hull. C&Cs have a reputation for being well-built, and I would be very surprised if the chainplate attachments on a 30 MK II are anything but very strong.
