Seafari/Scepter Bow Pulpit

[Vezo, Part II]

My new to me Seafari requires a bow pulpit and a Lewmar windlass for grouper fishing the Gulf. The inaccessibility of the bow is just not conducive for anchoring and re anchoring over small structure, after attempting to calculate wind and tide. At least in my experience.

My plan is to fabricate my own using two 3/4" Coosaw Board and glassing myself. At this time I have no opening, or access through the bow and into the anchor locker. Minus cutting the rope with a hung anchor, how would I disperse load across the surface of the bow? Seems the strongest parts would be around the lip nearest the rub rail, or hull joint to cap?

Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
