“Accidents happen, even during routine haulouts. This liveaboard tug style vessle suffered a sudden mishap when it slipped out of the travel lift slings, tearing the pulpit right off the deck and causing significant fiberglass damage to the bow area.
The impact left the pulpit mangled, deck hardware pulled free, gelcoat cracked, and underlying laminate compromised,common when force exceeds the original mounting points.
At Froh’s Fiberglass Restorations, we handled it step by step:
• Carefully cut away all damaged fiberglass, delaminated sections, and compromised core material to reach solid structure
• Removed the old damaged pulpit and prepped the area for reinforcement
• Rebuilt the bow/deck interface with high-strength marine-grade fiberglass laminates, tabbing, and reinforcements for added durability
• Reinstalled and reinforced the pulpit assembly with upgraded backing plates and through-bolting where needed
• Fairred, gelcoated, and blended everything seamlessly—restoring to factory specs or better for long-term strength and watertight integrity
