We had a 1981 34 Mainship in the 80's and 90's. Great boat.
The 1981 came factory equipped with a bow pulpit. Earlier 34's did not.
It makes windless install easier. We had a Simpson Lawrance vertical windless. SL is long gone.
Make sure to epoxy any holes and bed well. The deck is balsa cored and you dont want water in there.
I can not believe your Mainship went 38 years without a windlass,
I also noticed that the "Crucifix" is still on the front of the windshield. The members of the Pacific NW Mainship Club named the mast on the fore deck that because of it's shape. Most owners took the mast off to improve visibility or relocated it to the salon roof to be used to mount a radar dome.
Two Canadian couples and my wife and I formed the club back in 1990 and had our first rendezvous at Oak Harbor Marina in 1991. At one rendezvous, we had over 20 34 Mainships and a few 40's parked bow out. If I find that picture, I'll post it.
