Question: Is Pulpit the right word in english?

Edit: "Pedestal (binnacle) will be"

J - Great job!!

Pulpit... is OK, if you're conducting a sermon - otherwise it's a HELM

Nice Job! But that seat makes my butt sore, just looking at it

There is a small cushion cover for it

I removed it so you can see the structure.

You can see it on the left side in the picture above

It is the exact word in Portuguese for that part of the boat. "Pulpito"...
I think that the word comes from the time of our discoveries. those small boat across oceans... The captain was their bishop...

I think the word for the column supporting the helm is pedestal ?

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.

I am very interested to know what
changes you did with your rudder controls.

ps I've always called it a binnacle
(but then again, I used to call my ex-wife sweetheart so what do I know.)

I've always thought a binnacle to be a stand for the ship's compass, seperate from the helm. But then a helm can have a compass on it too.

Hi Allan,

would this be sufficient for Your butt?



....seen on Lake Leman.

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 wheel , transmition and cable where replaced with a new system.

Large Edson wheel, hydraulic pump and hydraulic pipe parallel connected to the autopilot hydraulic arm.

This way i can have the motor always connected to the rudders and move everything smoothly...

This winter i intend to replace the rudders and rudder brackets with the 2002 model system or the IDA...

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. It is a simple but very useful mod...

Now that's what I'm talkin' bout

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.

Gorgeous work Jose!!

( Man I wish it was sailing season here - I miss it already )

WoW! nice job

Jose;

How would you like a free - - - all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas Your mission, if you choose to accept it, would be to gamble, gamble, gamble; party like a rock star, and - - - oh yeah - - - refit my boat to make it look a lot like yours
