Aaron,
Stern boarding gate photo attached. Note the capped hole where the bilge vent cowl used to be.
I didn’t know Railmakers made extras of those mast pulpits. Good for you! Yes, that was a bunch of work to put together, but also a unique learning experience for me. Best of all, now that I’ve made even a brief offshore passage with the boat I’m very glad I got them. Several times I was at the mast hoisting or dousing the mainsail in lumpy conditions. How much easier and safer it was being nestled securely into that railing and having both hands free to work with! I wouldn’t want to go to sea again without mast pulpits (or else with all mainsail lines led aft). The guys who call them “sissy bars” or “chicken rails” or whatever are idiots, and almost certainly have never been offshore in a blow.

Tor,
Did you remove all the wood around the cockpit combing or did you boat
come that way?Pete

Pete,
It appears several 424s came without the teak covered coamings. I wish that were true of Sarah.2009/6/23 Pete Dubler < ([email][/email])>

Quent,
I just picked up a pair from Railmakers (railmakers.com)
I dunno if they have more, you’ll have to call them.

Both, they were custom designed and made for the 424. Several members
of the list did a group buy.Railmakers made at least a couple pairs extra. I bought mine from their
stock about a year after the group buy just a couple weeks ago. (about
$550 I think)If they have stock they’ll sell them for the group buy price, if they
have to make them I would expect they would be significantly more $$.kalinowski wrote:
Are the mast pulpits custom made or do you know if Railmakers has the
plans on file? It gets really rolly polly where the Alaska rollers
squeeze in the channels between the islands and I’ve definitely put
pulpits on my list.Dan Kalinowski

Quent,
The other day Aaron wrote that he recently got a set of our mast pulpits from the shop we used in Costa Mesa; that they had made extras. You might just ask them directly:

Pete,
Happy to report my boat came to me (and almost certainly came from the factory) with no teak on the cockpit combings.

My hull #8 also had no teak on the cockpit combings. I wish there was none on the bulwark either.

Hull #152 also has no teak on the cockpit combings. Must have been an option.
