Toe rails for sale

If you want to haul the lapper out without tearing the tow rail off or fitting a "D" ring through your deck, try a couple wraps of 1/8" dyneema around the holding pin for the upper shrouds (forward pin) on the chain plates. You can get 2 or 3 wraps in there and suspend a block off it to either sheet to or haul out to. Adjust the length of the strop to get the jib trim you desire. Its a solid anchor and there are no sharp edges to worry about, and best of all it requires no more holes in the boat. It is also positioned nicely to sheet out too, being about halfway between the current track and the rail. Simple, cheap, and effective.

And if you want to refit your boat here is what I did. I used Barbour Plastics, Inc. POBox 2158, Brockton, MA 508583-8200, fax 508 583-4113, (www.barbourplastics.com). Page 18 of their online catalog, solid plastic model R1002 white (15.16" wide, 1+ 1/8th" high). Order 40' @ $3.50/ft ($140), had them cut into 6 equal lengths ($25 labor and $31 shipping) and made tapered ends at boat. Bill's directions on installing are "The rails are screwed in place from the bottom and are bedded in caulking. Position new rail over 1st hole at one end, drill hole thru new rail from inside boat. Use a #12 stainless self tapping hex (bolt) head wood screw. Drill appropriate sized hole in new toe rail so that the screw will thread in tightly, use a washer underneath the screw head inside boat.   Continue this until you reach the other end of the rail. One person outside will bend the rail until it lines up over the middle of the next hole and so on. Once all holes drilled, tape the deck first (to help avoid mess with sealant), then remove all screws and rail place rail on deck.   Use 3M 4200 sealant and re-assemble. Use acetone to clean up any drips and do it quick before it dries."

I have pictures but don't know how to put them in here (somebody tell me and I will add them else PM me and I will send if interested.)

All toe-rails are the same length. They are all straight until they are installed. Then they conform to whatever curve is there. 

Hi John, let me go grab my notes and I will pass along what I did. I do have 4 toe rails my bride would love for me to get out of the garage however available now!   :)bill
