Toe Rails

Post by Tyche »

Got Tyche in the water last week and had two beautiful sails on Buzzards Bay over the weekend - frostbite sailing!

Over the winter, one of the projects was replacing the aluminum toe rail, as the interaction between the aluminum toe rail and the stainless stanchion was causing some issues... As the boat yard was unable to find replacement toe rails, we ended up going with teak toe rails, which dresses up the boat quite a bit. Also allowed us to replace the chocks, which weren't quite big enough to handle more than one line at a time Going to oil the teak and let it weather.

Looks great! They sure do add a line to the boat that you don't get with the Aluminum. well done!

The new teak toe rail really adds to the look of your boat. Makes me think I might replace my aluminum toe rail in the future. Did you do the work yourself? How hard was it to remove the aluminum toe rails?

Happy sailing

I am checking with the boatyard to see if they are still in the shop. Will let you know.

Not sure how close they are, but I may be interested in a couple of them as well for my Hoyt F32 to reconfigure my bow chocks
