Rod,
It looks like the bow pulpit and all the stanchions were originally secured
with set screws. This practice is no longer allowed for off shore races. All
the set screws, including the one on the bow, have been replaced with a
through bolt.

Subject: [frers-list]Bow Pulpit Frers 33
Hi Guys,
Having a bit of concern over my bow pulpit which I believe is the standard
one for the Frers 33 that is only secures in three places. The two aft
securing points are stanchion type bases on the deck that are through
bolted, that part is fine. Forward the single piece of vertical stainless
steel tubing fits down over a round rod which is solid. There is a hole and
a screw in the forward side of the stainless steel tubing which goes into
the rod but it does not pass through the tubing and bolt on. As a
consequence the pulpit is very flimsy, most have four securing points. Is
anyone else having a similar problem and if so how did you fix it. I'm
reluctant to drill the hole all the way through the tubing and bolt it but
that is likely stronger than the present arrangement.
