Abstract

A stanchion construction for boats having a thin walled stainless steel tube which is reinforced throughout the lower portion by a solid plastic cylinder. Horizontal forces exerted on the stanchion directly or through a lifeline, create very substantial stresses in the lower portion of the stanchion. The plastic cylinder surrounded tightly by the tube wall creates a very sturdy construction which is compact and light in weight.
