Topic: Toerail repairs

Hi all,

We bought our 1973 Rogers Co26 Whisper end of last year and on sailing her we noticed the toerail-mounted genoa tracks were lifting the whole toerail off - something obviously amiss with the toerail attachment! Just wondered how the rails are supposed to be fastened on, and if anyone else had repaired/replaced them and had any advice, so we can plan repairs...any advice welcome.

Cheers,

Luke

Re: Toerail repairs

Luke,
I have a JJ Taylor co26 and it's genoa tracks, like the genoa tracks on any boat I've owned, are thru bolted the toerail  with washer and a nut accessable, though barely, from below. If you can get a backing plate in there then all the better.
Can you get fingers up there to fit a washer and nut? If so, that's it!
