[C38] Stanchion types

[Dick Kilroy]

David Kilroy just replaced all 8 stanchions on Dashaway After consultation with Catalina we determined that the stanchions were of straight nature. There was the straight option as well as two angle options. Catalina determined that the cat 38 had straight stanchions. All seem to have worked fine.

I think the starboard one has also been deformed by usage. It was fun dealing with the lifelines after that....
