[alberg30] Questions on toe rail and genoa track

[Shawn Orr]

From: "Shawn Orr" <Shawnwilliam at msn.com>

I always thought that the toe rail bolts kept together the deck to the hull and was told not to take the rail off because the joint integrity would be compromised.  Am I wrong in thinking this way?

  The Toe Rail popped out after the Genoa track bolts were removed. It might have been wiser to put bolts back thru after the track was removed but didn't expect that to happen. We will try to pull the toe rail back but haven't done it yet because we are going to refinish the toerail too as well as the other wood. 
      To be clear it is not my boat, I am just helping some here and there.  I believe the hull number is close to yours and the toe rail is the vertical kind. Not sure what a newer type looks like.

    We just took the Genoa tracks off last weekend for the same reason.All 
    bolts were accessible although some were not convienient. No cutting of 
    fiberglass was necessary.

    Hi Jim, 
    When you had all the bolts out to get to the spacer wood beneath the genny 
    track, what did your toe rail do?  Did it spring out, or just sit there, 
    waiting to be rebedded and rebolted?  I eventualy have to do the same thing, 
    and I was just curious how you found things.  Do you have the older vertical 
    toe rail, like mine, or the newer design? 
    Thx, 
    Lee
