Does anyone have a source for those aluminum toe rails with the holes for mounting snatch blocks, etc.?

Thanks Larry, but no luck at Defender. I was able to locate a company in New Zealand who makes them:

Unfortunately, I have a feeling this stuff is going to cost more than gold. :(

Allen: check out page 1047 of the West Marine catalog (listed in the index under "Toe..." If they can get it, it must be available in other places too.

They're also on the WM web site at

C&C's all used this kind of toerail. You might check out www.cncphotoalbum.com, the online C&C information source, to see if they have a source listed, or sign onto their forum and ask there.

Thanks Gentlemen, this stuff looks nice, but after looking at the price on the WM web page, I think we will stick with wood.

Thanks again,

South Shore Yachts (http://www.ccyachts.com) supposedly has the stuff (they have it listed anyways). No prices listed so you have to e-mail them. Also, Klacko Spars (http://www.klackospars.com/) supplies South Shore with some of their C&C stuff.
