as soon as I get my stanchions back from Bob, I'll be doing the same. I really want to get this done before I do in, at least on one side. Maybe I can wait until the end of the year for the other.

Do yuo have any rust around the stanchions or screws? If so then start on that side. Indication of water. (other than the bow pulpit)
I'm committed to one side, three stanchions already removed

I have some rust on one stanchion on the other side. It seems like it would be kind of tough to just re-bed one so this might force me to do the whole side.
Maybe I can run a bead around the base and do it in a couple of months.
I'm running out of steam

If I recall correctly when we rebedded the rail in 2002, each base on my 10 meter had a large round backing plate with three holes in it.
It seems that they did not use locknuts, but used double nuts on the fasteners.
We replaced all the fasteners and used single nylon locknuts.

Bob,
Did you have a survey done when you bought the boat? If so any wet spots on the decks?
I had small wet spots where I fund the rot but nothing extensive. Depending on the stanchion, you could loosen that one, pull it up a but and force some sealant in there. as long as you knw it is just a bandaid. if the decks didn't show moisture, I would just wait until you can get to the whole job in the fall.
Make sure you bed the new ones properly.
It is a decent sized job which takes two people in a few spots. and is easier with two people the whole time. I estimate about 10-12 hours of work over 2-3 days. Having done it once It would go faster the second time
