Angle?
Mine are straight, maybe even a little bowed outboard from vertical at the gunwale. My stanchions, that is. [Easier to do a search with better spelling]

I hope you have some good backing plates for the new bases.
My guess would be that he's replacing the ones on the Irwin 34 that is in his profile.
He spelled stantions correctly.
You may wish to look a little further before you accuse people of needing "better spelling".
Stanchions + Welder = Cool
Likely you are making your own. Thats talent worth having and knowing. Me, I have to pay some guy who pays a welder, who pays a supplier, who pays a....I'd like to see what you come up with. Bet its better than the commercial ones.

Just curious, what language and dictionary are you using. It certainly isn't English. The proper spelling in English is Stanchions, as seen in all of these results. Also, attacking from the anonymity of the internet is pretty cowardly.
My guess would be our guest thought he would just poppit in for a quick spelling debate.
Now I normally do not get into these frays but I am a stickler for spelling. So here are a couple of links:

While I have always written "stanchion" even Harken calls them a "stantion".

Almost all MB's discuss spelling
I didn't want to become a spelling policeman, just thought I'd point out the need for currect spelling for searching purposes, or else we'd never be able to find anything.
We discussed it recently on our board, and some funnies came up. Try this: http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,4903.0.html

It's a spelling bee! Wheee!
Sometimes I spell words so wrong, that there are no suggestions for the right word. It should just say suggestions: go back to middle school

Where are the old stancheions? Or are you going to change the angle of the stancheons to something more favorable for a specific purpose?

Make it easier - type "stantions" into the Archives here.
Been this way for many years. You can spell it either way and be correct.
I can relate to that!
When/if searching the archives, use all possible spellings, and maybe some we haven't thought of yet.

All that means is that Harken and Redden Marine have mis-spelled the word... not that it is a proper spelling.
