Overview of Accessory Components

  • Stanchion Bases:
  • Conical Base (#334650): The primary OEM base used across modern Beneteau/Jeanneau models. Features a flared cone base designed to distribute lateral loads.
  • Parallel/Flat Base (#002877): Used primarily on flat deck surfaces and legacy First/Oceanis models.
  • Backing Plates:
  • Part #36-91: S/S backing plate placed underneath the deck gelcoat/fiberglass to prevent stanchion breakout during high loads.
  • Boarding Gate Accessories:
  • Braced Support Legs: Diagonal $25\text{ mm}$ support struts attached to gate stanchions to absorb tension when life-gates are open.
  • Pelican Hooks (#27-886 / #121312): Over-center quick-release latches attached to $3/16\text{“}$ lifeline wire ends for side-boarding access.
