Does this pulpit make me look skinny?
Bow Pulpits are expensive. Shipping can be even more expensive. Having found a great price on a bow pulpit I bought it. It came from an S2 6.7 sailboat. It didn't rest properly on the bow.
Rather than cut and reweld I made some adapters.
Having noticed foresails, jibs, resting on bow pulpits when broad reaching or running placing the narrow pulpit forward became a desire.
How far forward or aft became a question. I still have no good answer other than not so far forward that persons fall under it.
With painters tape, waxed paper and clay made a mold then filled it with auto body 2 part filler.
The attachments show adapters made from body filler. In other attachments the pulpit is mounted and the adapters are partially on the deck and partially on the Mariner's molded toe rail.
It may not be attractive but the pulpit is forward, secure, doesn't leak, allows access to bow hardware attachment and forward enough to stow extra sails or to hang and remote drop an anchor.
