lifeline Stanchions

[Tenaciousgreen]

I need 4 stanchions, 2 for each side as I have no lifeline s fitted at this time, Has anyone changed theirs recently and if so any recommendations on makes or where to purchase them from.

Most important is to have solid ply backing plates under the deck, larger than the metal bases, and with the edges tapered. Height of stanchion to suit your pulpit and pushpit, but can be a little higher. Some form of tensioning of the lifeline is also important, as the pulpit/pushpit need to take the load of a side force on the wire, rather than the stanchion base.

Search "stanchions" on this forum and you will also find details of aluminium toerails
