I made my pulpit out of 1 1/4" teak, about 36" long and 12" wide. It will hold all 215 pounds of me hanging off the tip of it sitting on dry land. Very tough. Pics follow here:

I have to remove it soon to refinish it. That's the only downside to using the teak, I'll get more up after the job is done.

Great Pics. Looking for a chain tension holder right now. Never seen your type before. No crappy ceiling carpet. Looking good. ;)

Ceiling carpet in a storage compartment?

It was the 70's, the same concept as party vans,
carpet the walls, floor, ceiling, seats, etc.

It is called a closed chock. It is used a lot on blow boats to keep their lines from tangling too much. The top bar is threaded, so you can screw it out and release the anchor. i set it up just far enough back so that I have to pull the anchor tight and just get the screw bar into the chain. It also helps when hauling the anchor because I can keep it closed while I'm hauling the rode, and it allows me to stay farther back in the boat. If need be, I can pull the anchor out while standing at the console, in cases when it is windy and I'm single handed, then I just tie it off to the T-top temporarily.
