Would like to add a nice bow pulpit to my F32, any idea as to what size I should be looking for?
Want to avoid getting something too big or small and not look right.
Thanks!!

Added one to my F32.
Fiberglass off of eBay - it was 42" long @ $201 shipped from eBayer "
outlaw$0" in Seminole, FL.
I trimmed it to shape, re-coated the bottom with epoxy where I shaped it to mate nicely with the deck edge, used (5) 1/2" Stainless bolts (and a cleat) through the deck and some starboard backer washers I made for the inside,
plenty of 5200 and it has been on there for 4 or 5 years.
Would like to adjust my railings to go out over it someday - but you know how it goes - "the cobbler's kids never have shoes". I've never finished my stainless radar arch either. Might work on it today ...

Rossjo the pulpit looks great.
The only thing missing is a windless
I feel sorry for your first mate on a windy day with a current trying to pull up that anchor.....

Once you figure out the size, since you are in NY, you might want to get a quote from this guy

rossjo, looks good. Same one I added to my F36. I added the bow rail extention as well. Really sets it off. my windless goes on this year. I could not resist adding a nice S/S bruce anchor, which cost more than the pulpit!!

Our 76'er F-32 Sedan Flybridge was staffed with teak pulpit:
The front reeling is upside down for wrapping.

Bob at Beacon has pulpit railings, I have mine from hime. Also they can build a pulpit if John has time to gitter done, and have designs for the correct fit for your boat.
And no I do not get a cut if anybody thinks that.

What, you haven't met my two arms, Wind and Lass ?
Our biz is stainless tubing - we'll make our pulpit - and like most projects - it will get out of hand I'm sure

I really like Rossjo's Pulpit!! looks easy to keep clean and strong! I will be looking for one like this as well!!. Far as The comment and Language barrier, I think we should all just agree to disagree and move on. hopefully it doesnt become a problem, I beleave words in motion are either choosen quickly with out thought or carefully with reason. We all know Ive been a problem at lashing out or back. I really dont see a reason for my actions but it happens. I really dont see a reason for others actions but they happen as well. If the world was perfect we would all be rich and dead!. I stand against the criticism that floods this site from time to time. I am trying to correct my reaction to it with a few talks from people. Ignoreing is hard, probly best but hard. killing with kindness is fun an all usually gets a good laugh in the end. We all really need each other here. One day you will read something and post like I have several times and just get ignored, when all you were trying to was help or ask. I know this! It takes everyone one getting along to create a good work enviroment. Im trying and its hard! we all have exuses.
