Hi Steve,
When I got my boat she didn't have a pulpit. The lifelines terminated
to an inverted "U" shape stanchion arrangement on each side. The side
units are not entirely uncommon, for the day and allowed the jib to
be brought inside the lifelines nicely.
There were bases where the old pulpit was but It was probably let go
because of the assy spinnaker.
After six years of cruising I've haven't had the desire to reinstate
the pulpit. PM me if you want pics.
Cheers, Russ
Sweet 35 mk-1

Gang, I need opinions and the wisdom of the group.
I have a 1990 34+ and am interested in reworking the original bow
pulpit so that it would be "open" at the front, versus current wrap
around design. Think modern J Boats. Purpose of the upgrade would
be to allow tacking an ASYM tack line farther forward onto anchor
roller while reducing/eliminating chafe. I am familiar with ATN
Tacker and similar methods for keeping tack & luff away from bow but
I dont like these methods. Has anyone redesigned their bow pulpit
or have any experience or second hand knowledge of someone who has done this?
