[Public-List] Toe Rail Replacement

[Gary Barker]

A good rationale and plan for toe rail replacement can be found at  
http://pearson40.org/toerail_refit.htm  After reading this article, I  
chose to replace the teak with aluminum, glass the joint and move the  
genoa track just inside the toerail on the strengthened and stiffened  
part.  It is a good article and something to consider.
