For sailors worried about their manicures or hernias, an electric anchor windless is an option, but certainly not crucial, especially since the unusual bow and open-ended bow pulpit afford much more working space than you would usually find in a boat this size. Sometimes a design feature won’t look like much on paper, but really does make a dramatic difference in terms of the real world. This is definitely one such feature. See previous Q, which says PULPIT: http://chi.proz.com/kudoz/870528 However, there's a lot of pulpits associated with railings, so maybe the pulpit is the rail part and the bowspit is the structure that has been shaped in the boat body. However, it seem that the accident report is saying that the pulpit (railings) were torn out of the structure .... So I'm tending to agree with Graham. |
