Richard,
We haven't had any trouble with chaffing against the pulpit. Our pulpit is clean in that area, i.e. it's just smooth stainless tubing with nothing to chafe against.
Our pendant is actually made of nylon webbing, about 1.5" wide. It is fairly smooth and with the wide flat surface it doesn't seem to catch or chafe on anything. But this wouldn't be good material for a running tack line.
I like your idea of the removal gennaker bowsprit. Could you use your whisker or spin pole for this, by securing it to one of the anchor rollers and at the inboard end to the deck cleat? I mention this idea because I would think you'd have to get the tack fairly far forward to avoid having the foot of the sail hang up on the pulpit when jibing. - John
