Between a Bowspirt and a Pulpit?

Check your spelling. A bowsprit is really nothing more than a mast on
the bow canted well forward.

Modern day yachts have morphed the bowsprit into more of a bow platform
on which one can walk and handle anchors which are stored on bow
rollers. The bow pulpit may or may not enclose the bowsprit.
