| I recently picked up the bow pulpit and lifeline railings from RailmakersNW. They turned out really nice. |
 |
| The railings and stanchions have bases made of high density foam. These set is incorporated into a web reinforcement at the chainplates. |
 |
| The foam is glued to the inside of the cabin |
 |
| This is the foam base for the forward starboard stanchion. Each foam base is covered with 3 layers of 200g carbon cloth. |
 |
| Next a fiberglass post is glued to the base. Here I am checking the angle - 90 degrees fore and aft and 5 degrees outboard. The stanchions and railings are made from1inch stainless tubing which fits over the fiberglass posts. |
 |
| Port side railing base showing thickened expoxy fairing around the post. The rope holds the post in place until the epoxy sets up. |
 |
| Starboard side with the railing sitting on top of the post. Three more layers of carbon cloth go over the post under the deck. |
 |
| After the first post is in place, the railing tubing is used to align the second post for that railing |
 |
| Railmakers made the railings longer than needed. I will trim to fit. |
