[alberg30] Toe rail replacement

[Alan P. Kefauver]

From: "Alan P. Kefauver" <apk2 at home.com>

They are  not square as you know. Mine are 14" wide on the bow end, 11 7/8" on the stern end. 35 7/8" on the hinge side, 36" on the cockpit side. The solid teak edges are 1" wide all round with mitred corners by 3/4' thick on all sides but the cockpit side where the teak is 1" by 1" with the bottom lip tapering to meet the 3/4" thick ply, thereby providing a finger lift. Here again i used Marine Birch Ply and veneered it with teak edges, so the MP is the above dimensions less 1" on all sides.

Your mileage may vary. My boat is a 1965, I have seen a boat in the upper 400's where it looked like the cokpit lockers were different. My best advice to you it to use your old ones as a template, cut them oversize, then take them to the boat and mark them with a pencil to fit and then cut and finish.

ps. Silly question, but is your piano hinge on backwards?
