Remedy for toerail corrosion? Dear Fellow Swan Owners, Like many vintage swans, Anthea, our 1977 Swan 41, has pit corrosion along the midships portion of the toerail and galvanic corrosion around some of the bolts. Replacing the toerail is not an option. I am wondering how best to arrest the corrosion without removing the toerail. I have read the prior posts on this topic. It seems that painting is not an optimal solution; brush on annodizing is not practical or feasible, which leaves the option of applying nanocoat, a clear coating that must however be applied about once every season. I have recently come across another product, Nyalic, which is also a clear coating, but one that will last several seasons. In response to my query, company representatives have recommended the Nyalic Marine Kit for this application. At this point I am planning on applying Nyalic later this summer. But first, I wanted to ask if any other swan owners have had experience with this product. Secondly, I am wondering if there other good options that I may have missed for arresting this time of corrosion? Thanks and Happy Sailing, Mark
