Bow pulpit supplier and also sealer

I've been corresponding with a guy who has purchased a sister vessel of my other boat, a Dutch-built Seafarer from 1961. One of his problems is a mangled bow pulpit. These appear to have been fabricated by the Dutch yard that built the boats, which had focused mainly on building steel naval and commercial vessels. I recall various recommendations for stainless fabricators being offered but (of course) I did not pay attention then. Where could he get a new pulpit built? On another subject entirely, I was out sailing last night on the Cal 20 and it was in very light air--lots of time to observe. Last year I rebedded my "chainplates" (really padeyes) on the boat using butyl rubber tape, after seeing praise for that stuff on the list. So far it is very good. What I observed is some creep out from under the deck-mounted base. Basically, the butyl rubber compound is a very, very viscous liquid, and it has been under compression forces, and it is gradually oozing out and uncompressing. I like it. Chris Campbell
