Graham,
The block on top of the pulpit is used to hold the mast end when the mast is down.  The mast grove will slide onto the upper part.  If you look closely at this photo.

you can see the pin and the pull ring on it.  The pin will slide into a hole in the mast, much like the boom or the pop top slider does.  It's quite a nice feature!  No more lashing the mast to keep in secure to the pulpit (although I usually do tie it down in transport). 

I believe the material is UV stabilized UHMWPE, at least that's what Rummy said at one time.

Hi Ted:
Thanks for the great pictures. The nav lights look great.
What is the black block that is above the bow light for? Is the black bracket bolted to a stainless steel bracket and is that bracket welded to the bow pulpit? Do you know what that black material is made of?
Thanks,
 Graham
