[Public-list] Deck/hull joint - Toe Rail - ETC

[George Dinwiddie]

I think you must have one of the transition hulls, that has some of the 
characteristics of the old ones and some of the characteristics of the 
new ones, plus some features not found in either of the others.  On your 
side rails, does the fiberglass come up higher under the genoa track, 
eliminating the wood there?
