[C320-list] Mast bulwark

[Warren Updike]

I've seen them on larger boats, especially those with controls on the mast
and boom. They were away from the mast so that a person could stand between
the mast and bulwark and work the rigging with both hands.  Here: Usually,
bulwarks. Nautical . a solid wall enclosing the perimeter of a weather or
main deck for the protection of persons or objects on deck.

The ss rail is usually installed at a height above the deck that would
provide a hand hold while when underway.  The ones I have seen on large
sailboats were U shaped with the open end aft.
