[Public-List] Pushpit, Pullpit and Stanchions

[Gordon Laco]

Hi Mick - I have to say I belong to the Society against Improper Lifeline
Componant Terminology; I am trying to stamp out the creep of the term
'PUSHPIT' and maintain the prevelance of the correct term 'STERN PULPIT'.

I hope if you go away on your voyage you will write about it!

;)
