Capt Sadler, I installed both bow and stern pulpits on my 1982 M15 in 1997 and have never regretted it. I sail in SF bay and they provide some security for my aging bones. I purchased mine from Svendsens Marine in Alameda for $296 (bow) and $407 (stern plus lifeline Stanchion and lifelines) plus tax. I installed them myself, much as Connie described. I bought them locally because I think the shipping would be rather expensive. As I recall, I talked to the welder and discussed in detail what I wanted, then I parked my boat at their shop for a couple of days and they made things fit. The only down side I can think of is that the stern pulpit makes access to the motor a bit awkward, but that is NBG. Bob Becker M15 #208 On Sep 26, 2007, at 2:19 PM, Jim Sadler wrote:

Thanks Skipper

I have sailed the Pelican M-15 for 25 years and find that my sea legs have gone somewhat adrift. I am 62 now and with empty nest have decided to attempt some ocean passages like channel islands and Catalina. I guess the pulpits can be considered "sea walkers" for us seasoned skippers.

Do you know where to obtain such items?

Capt. Sadler, my bow pulpit is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to a guy with a long-gone sense of balance like me. I have slide on my butt to get to the foredeck, and need the comfort of a good handhold up there. John R. Butler theoldcat@cox.net
