Customised 316 Stainless Steel for Marine use

Pushpits & pulpits.

These can be supplied from customer drawings or patterns. We also offer a design and build service on all our stainless steel marine products.

As well as the conventional type of pushpit & pulpit we are able to manufacture deck rails for almost any size of vessel, the largest we have built so far being for an 80-foot luxury motorboat for one of our regular customers.

“A” frames & Radar Arches

Fabtech has supplied “A” frames for leisure and commercial boats in both 316 stainless steel and aluminium.

All stainless steel “A” frames in 2-inch tube are made using a minimum wall thickness of 2mm. These can be fitted with cleats and if necessary a radar can be fitted to the top plate without the worry of having too much weight on the frame.

Radar arches can be made to any specification that the customer requires. Small cabin roof frames up to 2.5 metres with folding gantry’s have also been supplied to customer drawings and specifications.

Please see the photos of the lookout tower on Song of the Whale the IFAW boat, this was built by Fabtech and shows the diversity of our work when compared with one of the RIB “A” frames also in the photos.

Pushpit/Pulpit

• Thread starter Guest
• Start date 13 Jan 2003

Any idea where these names originate? Anything to do with a church pulpit? Or is push from aft and pull from fwd more relevant?  

Does anyone remember who first used pushpit instead of taffrail? I seem to recall hearing it first in the mid to late 60s. <P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1> Edited by jleaworthy on 13/01/2003 12:50 (server time). </FONT></P>  

Well-known member

If one excludes the very large boats and the odd exception pushpits are a relatively modern phenomenon on smaller sailing boats.  

But a pushpit isn\'t a taffrail! I think that the first "pulpits" were adopted in the 1930's aboard offshore racers. Anyone with access to a run of "Yachting Monthly" for those years will be able to find this out, but I am pretty sure that Robert Clark's early offshore racers had them, and they were remarked on and written up. The term comes from the fact that a crew member could stand up, jammed in the pulpit, a bit like a preacher in church, to handle a headsail change; with both hands free, whereas previously he would have been lying on the deck and hanging on with one hand. I am sure that I read that in a 1930's YM. "Pushpit" comes later, late 1940's early 1950's, when long booms had gone out for offshore racing and they therefore became practical (a long boom with an aft mainsheet, such as a gaff cutter has, will lie across the guardwires). I'm pretty sure they crop up in Illingworth's "Offshore". The word is simply a joking derivation from "pulpit". A taffrail is a continuation of the bulwark rail across the stern. Of course this assumes the boat has bulwarks.....Walker's "Excelsior" Patent Log, "taffrail model", has circular bronze plates which are screwed into the wooden taffrail - no way this could be attached to a pulpit.

Re: But a pushpit isn\'t a taffrail! While accepting that the 'taffrail' is strictly the covering rail for the transom timbers, I rather like the extension of the meaning to include the stainless steel stern rail of a grp yacht. I have no objection to 'pushpi't but I prefer taffrail and its certainly more elegant than 'stern pulpit', which is used in some nautical dictionaries. JJ  

The earlier ocean racers (late 20s, early 30s) had lifelines, but from the forward stanchion the top line simply ran direct to a pad eye ahead of it. The 'sharp end' therefore had no rail of any kind. An RORC owner (Col King?) had the idea (around about 1935) to fabricate a rail in order to protect crew working right forward. The word 'pulpit' was easily coined. The word 'pushpit', a system which came rather later (not before at least one fatality when an RORC crew went aft to read the Walker patent log during a Fastnet race) was an obvious derivation.  

For obvious reasons, James I deprecate boats made out of you-know-what giving themselves airs and borrowing terminology from real boats. If they have'nt got futtocks, knightheads, shelves, clamps, floors, lazarettes, bitts, wales, channels, kelsons, deadwoods, garboards, aprons, carlins, kevels and horn timbers, they ought not to be allowed to have taffrails! Let them make up their own words! Anyway, like you, I like "pushpit".  

The definitive answer.... You are precisely correct. I happen to have a copy of YM for January 1938, because it's got the description of "Mirelle" as a new boat in it, and there on page 206 is chapter and verse.... "Since the RORC made it compulsory to carry the wire rail right round the stem, various attempts have been made to evolve a rail-head fitting. But Ortac's adaptation of the sword-fishing pulpit (fig 10 - caption "the "pulpit" at Ortac's stemhead) seems by far the best, particularly if the forward stanchions follow out the flare of the bow sections to increase the elbow room on the foredeck. Stanchions aand wire rails are such sensible fittings that they will probably spread from the racers to the cruisers...." ("Ortac", for anyone who does'nt know was Colonel King's new ocean racer, designed by the young Robert Clark.) So, the term "pulpit" was already in use for this structure on swordfishing powerboats in the USA and it was simply adopted into sailing vocabulary along with the thing it describes. <P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1> Edited by Mirelle on 13/01/2003 22:40 (server time). </FONT></P>

Deck Fittings & Hardware

Deck fittings and hardware are the metal and other hardware components that are used to secure, attach, and support various items on a boat's deck. They are essential for the safe operation of a boat, and they come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and materials.

Some of the most common types of deck fittings and hardware include:

• Bitts: Bollards are large, heavy-duty posts that are used to secure mooring lines and other heavy loads. They are typically made of cast iron or steel, and they are often found at the bow and stern of a boat.
• Cleats:  Cleats are smaller than bitts, and they are used to secure ropes and lines. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all have a hole or groove in the centre that the rope or line can be threaded through.
• Fairleads:  Fairleads are used to guide ropes and lines around corners or other obstacles. They are typically made of stainless steel or aluminum, and they have a smooth, rounded surface that helps to prevent the rope or line from chafing.
• Hatch hardware:  Hatch hardware is used to secure and operate hatches on a boat's deck. It typically includes hinges, latches, and lifting rings.
• Rail fittings:  Rail fittings are used to secure stanchions, handrails, and other railings to a boat's deck. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all have a way to secure the railing to the deck.
• Other:  There are many other types of deck fittings and hardware, including eyebolts, shackles, shackles, and turnbuckles. These are used for a variety of purposes, such as securing safety lines, towing lines, and fishing gear.

Deck fittings and hardware are an essential part of any boat, and they help to keep the boat safe and secure. When choosing deck fittings and hardware, it is important to consider the size and weight of the loads that they will be used to secure, as well as the environment in which the boat will be operating.

Here are some additional tips for choosing deck fittings and hardware:

• Choose fittings that are made of high-quality materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum.
• Choose fittings that are the right size for the loads that they will be used to secure.
• Choose fittings that are designed for the environment in which the boat will be operating.
• Make sure that the fittings are properly installed and maintained.

By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your boat's deck fittings and hardware are safe and secure.

A protective rail around the after end of a boat, so named by analogy with the pulpit. A pushpit, of course, is a plain tubular structure and has none of the elegance of a Taffrail.

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).

VESSEL REVIEW | Sinichka – Electric commuter boats designed for Russia’s Moskva River

A series of three new electric monohull commuter ferries have already begun operational sailings on the Moskva River in the Russian capital Moscow.

Built by Russian shipyard Emperium, sister vessels Sinichka , Filka , and Presnya – all named after rivers in Moscow – are being operated by the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development (Moscow Deptrans). They are the first units of a planned fleet of 20 vessels that will serve the capital city and other nearby communities. The new ferry system will be the water transport system to be operated on the Moskva River in 16 years.

Each vessel has a welded aluminium hull, an LOA of 21 metres, a beam of 6.2 metres, a draught of only 1.4 metres, a displacement of 40 tonnes, and capacity for 80 passengers plus two crewmembers. Seating is available for 42 passengers on each ferry, and the main cabins are also fitted with USB charging ports, wifi connectivity, tables, toilets, and space for bicycles and scooters. The cabin layout can be rearranged to allow the operator to adjust the distances between the seats and to install armrests of varying widths.

An open upper deck is also accessible to passengers and is the only area on each ferry where smoking is allowed.

The ferries are all of modular construction with each ferry’s wheelhouse, main cabin, and other structural elements being built as complete, separate components. This enables the ferries to be easily dismantled for transport to anywhere in Russia by rail and then quickly re-assembled within seven days.

The ferries are also ice-capable. Recently completed operational trials on the Moskva showed that the vessels can also easily navigate under mild winter conditions with broken surface ice, though year-round operations are planned for the entire fleet.

The ferries are each fitted with 500kWh lithium iron phosphate battery packs that supply power to two 134kW motors. This configuration can deliver a maximum speed of 11.8 knots, a cruising speed of just under 10 knots, and a range of 150 kilometres.

Emperium said the transfer of rotation of electric motors to the propeller is carried out by direct drive. As a propulsion installation, a pulling rotary propeller-steering column with double screws is used. The installation of double pulling screws, with similar power, allows an operator to increase the efficiency of the propulsion system to deliver a slightly higher speed or to reduce energy consumption. This arrangement also provides the ferries with enhanced manoeuvrability necessary for navigating in close quarters.

The batteries themselves have projected service lives of 10 to 12 years and are fitted with safety features such as built-in fire extinguishers and gas vents. Quick-disconnect features allow the batteries to be easily removed for replacement or maintenance.

Some of our readers have expressed disquiet at our publication of reviews and articles describing new vessels from Russia. We at Baird Maritime can understand and sympathise with those views. However, despite the behaviour of the country’s leaders, we believe that the maritime world needs to learn of the latest developments in vessel design and construction there.
