Dear Lars, thank you for your advices. I was thinking of putting the stanchion on the internal side of the toerail . To mount them on top of the toerail I think it is not so nice to see. An option could be to built the toerail around the stanchion ; this could be achieved welding the stanchion bases on the new stainless steel plate which will replace the existing toerail and then drill the holes in the teak to accept them.

Dear Lars, I tought - and I think that I a not the only one in this forum - that the existing toerail was structural with the boat. I remember someone told me that "swans were so well built than you could lift one from the toerail"Porbably this is too much but I thought that this was very close to reality. In Marciana there was a 65' who did the same job I am going to do and he told me that instead of a stainless steel plate as a replacement for the original toerail , he used 21 layers of carbon fiber to make it as strong as it was before.Now you tell me that I can get rid of the toerail withouth having to replace it. This would make quite a difference in terms of time and money. Can I say that - after the toerail removal - it would be enough to replace bolts and nuts and washers? |

Dear Lars, I realy appreciate your very useful suggestion. My only concer is that the existing bolts with the old alluminium toerail are the very bit that causes the problem.
