usual stanchion height (according to Nichols guide to seamanship) is between 32" and 36" high.......so I'll leave the mathematicians to work out scale length.
 
Mind you.......that's a statement in a book dating to 1954 printing.

John Haynes does photo etch sets of the various 1/72 stanchions including 2 bar ones.

Howard I have never worked in 72nd scale, but John Haynes 96th scale assymetric 3 bar stanchions as used in
warships are 11mm long so at the larger scale you may want something a touch larger.
