Sergio For removal it is necessary to open all the rail bolt nuts on the inside under the deck edge. The nuts are probably overlaminated, and some may be in awkward locations. The rail was bedded down onto mastic, and this may still keep it well attached after the bolts are removed. This is a major job Lars |

David and Sergio It would not be advisable to heat the toe rail very much when in place, these yachts are built with orthopolyester which has a Heat Distortion Temperature in the order of 55 deg.C. The rail would need to be heated to around 300 deg.C for hot bending. Aluminium can be bent back cold if the deformation is small, if large unfortunately it is likely that the material will crack or break during the attempt. Pls tell us more about cold anodising Enclosed the requested toe rail cross section. Lars |
