Thanks Dave. I hope Martin responds, he will be a great contact indeed. Our toe rail is symmetric, T-shaped, with screws on both sides of the vertical part. Here are some photos:

Some of the photos include a ruler for scale (both cm and in), Also, I have been reading online about the C&C designs in the 1970s. I can't find much about the limited edition 43', but here is what I am finding about the hull to deck joint on other C&C designs from the 1970s: - the deck and hull are attached via an internal flange, which is bolted -- is that typical? - the joint is also chemically bonded -- how does that work? is it common on C&C? - the toe rail is attached with screws (or bolts?) and provides additional stiffness to the joint Does this sound right? Is it typical for C&C construction at the time, or could our hull/deck joint be very different? What might happen when we remove the toe rail?
