Winslow LifeRaft Company - Bought 4/13/2000. Six person, offshore model.
Other safety equipment packed onboard raft:
Stanchions are 1" diameter x 24" long. The lifelines are at 12" and 24" off the deck. The lifeline holes have welded inserts.
Stanchion braces are 7/8" diameter. The brace base is 9¼" from the stanchion (11" center-to-center).
Stanchion bases are 2½" x 3½" x 2" high.
The following table has the distance between the stanchions from the bow to the stern (symmetrical on port and starboard):
| Name | Distance | Notes |
| 1 | 6.25' | From bow pulpit to stanchion. The base is in backwards! |
| 2 | 8.5' | |
| 3 | 8' | Forward side of gate |
| 4 | 2' | Gate width |
| 5 | 9' | Gate to stern pulpit (pushpit) |
I replaced the two forward gate stanchions (2003) with two new ones of my own design from Tops-In-Quality. The order number was 19873 and it was for a "58000 gate stanchion w/o bases w/ fiberglass rod insert per specs". I used new stanchion bases with these gates from Suncor (S3610-0000).
Each stanchion base — four ¼-20 x 1½" carriage bolts with 4¼" x 6" x ¼" 6061 aluminum backing plates. I cut square holes for the carriage bolts with a tungsten Dremel bit.
Replaced the vinyl-coated lifelines with Sta-Set T-900 ¼" white line (2003). Next time, use 5/16" line for the uppers and ¼" for the lowers. I did a core-to-core splice on one end around a nylon thimble. I then prestretched the line with the main halyard winch. On the other end, I seized an eye into the line. I attached the lifelines to the pulpit and gate stanchion with 1/8" Yale Pulse (spectra) lashings and frapping turns.
Four pads, each with three carriage screws, screws are ¼" x 1½".
Hole for wire from bow light is only on the starboard side.
New pulpit designed and installed in 2004 with extra horizontal supports on port and starboard sides
The opening between the deck and the rail is 22".
