Granny bars or mast pulpit

[Francisco Garuti]

I searched around the group and found no mention or discussion of granny bars (or mast pulpit as some call them). Nobody has retrofitted some to their Passports? I find them invaluable when going up the mast and working reefs, the mainsail, etc. Im really not a fan of "lines to the cockpit" mostly. 

[Marty McOmber]

We have them on my 1985 P40.  They are great!

Hi there.  The P42's all came with Mast push pits on both sides.  Heavy Duty 2" SS.  I love them.  Not sure which model you  have but likely a P40.

Yes, it's a Passpor 40 1985.

Could you guys share some photos on your granny bars? I would love to get some ideas. The P42 seems to be very similar around the mast area so that would also work. 

[John Baudendistel]

Sure. 

Thanks 

John

Here is how mine is setup. 

We find them very useful!

Those look like the same ones on our 1984 47.  I would imagine that they were an option on all boats.  Remember, most of them were customized to some extent.  I wonder how many were built to a spec without owner customization.

I also have a set on my 37 which look identical to the pics offered by Pekina.

Would hate to be without them even though all my lines run to cockpit...I still find that I'm at the mast on occasion in rough weather

We have the very same Granny bars as everyone else (see photo). 

A source for getting a pair built is Whitewater Marine - See attached doc from thier web page

[Rob Raymond]

These look like they would be a nice addition. Are they bolted through or would it be strong enough screw into epoxy plugs?

--

[Matthew Davidson]

Mine namged to be bolted through without pulling the headliner... except 1 bolt out of 18 points. 

Really think you could mount G-10 blocks, drill and tap the bolcks and sikaflex 295 or Chemlink M-1 the feet down then screw in the bolts adn yo would be just fine.

Was unaware of M-1. Looks like it could be good for sealing the deck
where the chainplates pass through. How does it stack up against 291 or
295 for adhesion to stainless steel? I see the technical literature
says, "certain applications or substrates may require a primer" but
doesn't specify what the primer should be. Anyone know?

I'm sticking with:

295 for deckmounted Hardware

291 for thru-Hull fittings

M-1 for all Wood to Fiberglass and Veining (which is what is best suited for.
