[Public-List] Toe rail attachment

[Gary Barker]

David,
For a real fun time, you can cut the toerail off with a sawz-all,  
sand down to bare fiberglass, add some 6" of biaxial cloth, fair and   
reglass the hull/deck joint and put a nice Goiot 808 aluminum toerail  
with a teak insert Which is what I did.  It strengthened the joint,  
got rid of all the leaks , plus it looks great.  Email me for pictures.

Regards,
Gary Barker
