Integrated toe rail chocks
- Add to quote
Does ANYONE know who makes integrated toe rail chocks.I have seen them but cannot find the manufacturer.They are rectangular from the side so that when you install them, the line of the toe rail is unchanged."line" as in sight not rope.
What do you mean by integrated? Is this an aluminum toe rail or a wooden one? Did you want just chocks, or did you need them to be cleats with chocks?
integrated rail chocks we have had these made by whitewater marine, i believe they are located in michigan fair winds, eric
They are stainless I believe. They are for a wood toe rail. I wish I could draw a picture of them here so you could see what they look like. You need to carve out a spot for them in the toe rail but they fit flush so that they become part of the toe rail. I saw a picture of an integrated chock on the net( someone redoing their to rail) and it was not what I'm looking for.First they were bronze and they had a totally different shape. Kimberlite- Do you have a picture of yours anywhere?

I'm also on a budget so I'm wondering if teak or true mahogany are truly worth the cost. Before you answer, consider my hull deck joint.

Unfortunately there will be no re using the toe rail, it is rotted. I have been searching for a fix using: Teak, Aluminum, Plasteak, ect...

Now I have the new ones mounted on the deck just inside the toerail without any contact between the metals. It is also better because the toerail ...
I did scour the archives, but I'm still not 100% certain of my decision... I have removed the beastly 27' long aluminum toe rails from my boat to allow me to perform a deck repair. Just as well, on a 30 year old boat it was time to put a nice new seal in place. It appears that they were originally bedded in some form of a butyl rubber.
And yes, longer pieces are better. You might also be surprised how easy it is to bend a flat extrusion like this (or a piece of wood) to the shape of a typical sailboat hull. If you miss the aesthetic of the wooden toe rail you could add a stripe that follows the lines just below the new rail and mimics the 'old' look. Best o' luck with this.
The toe rail does not hold the deck/hull joint together. Apparently the deck/hull is glassed and may have additional blots that are located under the toe rail. From what I understand the toe rail could be removed without effecting the hull/deck structure (although the bolt holes would need to be filled. Boat is an S&S 34 built in Austrailia.

We have an aluminium toe rail with frequent perforations. I plan to attach the net about every 60cm /2 ft to the toe rail. What is a good way to make this attachment. My main concern is that a nylon cord / leechline will chafe against the edges of the toe rail.

They were originally made by a Finland mfgr and available through Meredian, a chain & mail order, marine supply store in Finland, their answer to our West Marine.
