We recommend drop boards instead of doors, since the!
latter are very hard to keep watertight. Furthermore, drop!
boards allow you to adjust the size of the opening according!
to weather conditions.!
s) PULPITS!
The stanchions and pulpits must be 30” high with the exception of the mast pulpits which
should be 40"• They should be equipped with a double lifeline and two gates, one on each
side, for easy access to the boat. The complete kit can be purchased from "Tops-In-
Quality" (ff 92). The stanchion base is indicated on the deck and we recommend that you
follow these markings.!
Note that every time you use standard equipment, you make your work easier and less
expensive. The bow pulpit should be ordered pre-wired and with navigation lights. The aft
navigation light is installed on the coaming of the cockpit. Do not install it on the aft pulpit .
We recommend that you order the aft pulpit with the ladder ready to be installed. This
ladder can be installed on either port or starboard.!
Do not install it directly aft since it could eventually interfere with the windvane.!
t) PORTS!
POLYCARBONATE
The hull ports should be polycarbonate (Lexan or!
other) 3/8" thick, and those of the cabin should be 1/2"!
thick. They should be sealed with silicone since!
