It is the exact word in Portuguese for that part of the boat. "Pulpito"...

J - Great job!!
I believe the pedestal holds the helm pod at least on an 'M' it does. I have also heard it referred to as a binnacle.
Nice Teak work J. I especially like the engine well platform or swim platform.
Great work Jose! Pedestal is the word you're looking for. The pullpit are the rails at the bow. I'm not sure what a binacle is.. perhaps a petal guardrail behind the pedestal.
That's the nicest looking Mac cockpit I've ever seen. Enjoy.

The pedestal or binnacle as a very interesting water ballast control system I promise to publish them later because i don't have good pictures now. It consists of a pipe from the air plug to the pedestal with a manual valve in the pedestal. also it was installed a gas tank electronic level control in the ballast step with a small display in the binnacle so the water level can be controlled easily.

Here is a classic binnacle. It is a stand and enclosure for a ships compass. Note the iron balls mounted on slides on each side. The balls could be replaced with different sizes and slid along the rails to correct for magnetic distortions caused by iron gear onboard and the earths imperfect magnetic fields. Also note the oil lamp mounted on the side, often burning whale oil (insert mother-in-law joke here). Typically the binnacle would be mounted directly ahead of the pedestal.
Here is a telegraph, used to communicate with the engine room, mounted to the side of the pedestal where the pilot could read it easily.
