Good evening all,
I bought Sea Star from Brian several years ago. She is almost all bronze
but without a pulpit. Sumio sent me a pulpit drawing several years ago that
I can scan for you if you are interested.

Hi Dioscouri, your desire for bronze hardware has merit.
I too have much bronze on BCC Calliste, and am very happy with it, but I
did have to draw the line and go ss in some places.
There is another source for bronze that isn’t on the afore mentioned list.
“Alaskan Copper and Brass” has an online downloadable catalog, which has an
advisor on welding bronze, that you might find helpful.
I believe that I have seen pulpits and railings made of bronze, but they
were very heavy, so were mounted on power boats.
I have also had good success by marrying the two metals, bronze and ss
together, like using bronze bolts on ss fittings, or ss clevis pins on
bronze toggles and turnbuckles.
There was another mostly bronze fitted BCC, in the Texas, area, owned by a
Mr Wooten-Wolly (sp-?) some few years ago.
