[Public-list] Bow Chocks

[Jonathan Adams]

I also lost one of mine in a surge - it was mounted on the toe rail. I ended up buying some bronze fairleads and tapping screws into the fore stay chain plate - or at least the deck plate right up there in the bow. The fairleads on the rail were flexing the toe rail, and sheared the bolts that were mounting it to the deck. This seems to work just fine.
 
My toe rail is about 3 inches high. I have seen some other A30s with almost no toe rail - just a little trim. Sooner or later I will need to replace this - anyone got any suggestions - or pics on there web site?

All  -

I lost one of my bow chocks and a chunck of toe rail to Hurricane  
Ophelia. 
I was very surprised to find out that the chocks are not  
through-bolted. 
Anyway, does anyone know where I can get either an exact  replacement, 
or 
else 2 similar chocks to replace the set?  Used is  okay.  Mine is an 
early-style boat, if that matters.
