Has anyone mounted a bow pulpit on their daysailer? I am considering this possibility and wonder about how to attach it given that the forward floatation compartment is sealed. I would also be interested in discussing lifelines, how many stantions were used and how you end them at or near the bulkhead, as I would imagine that hiking out would be difficult if they extended alongside the cockpit. Also, I would be interested if anyone has mounted a stern pushpit to their daysailer.
I feel particularly vulnerable when I step forward in a blow to douse the jib. I have a jib furler now, controlled from the cockpit, but am not satisfied with the performance and am considering going back to jib hanks. This would necessitate going forward on deck again... hence the bow pulpit and lifelines considerations.
