Neither the pulpit or the anchor roller are designed to take loads up. That would concern me. I would figure out a way of attaching it to the headstay chainplate as far forward as possible or put in a dedicated fitting. I run my tack pennant through a block mounted on the chainplate (stemhead fitting) ahead of the headstay and back to a mooring cleat.
