Thanks, Bob. This is great information! I was wondering where one might
find scale drawings. I will contact the museum.

Good to hear removing the toe rail will not affect the joint structurally.
I thought it might, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Thanks for all the links to vendors! I am replying here to everyone who
responded, so I don't send multiple emails.

Ken - yes, it is the slotted aluminum toe rail. As far as I know, the
reasons for replacement are leaks and corrosion. I was not involved in the
decision to replace the toe rail. The C&C 43' belongs to my university, and
I am one of her skippers. Great boat!

I had not seen the do it yourself album yet - very useful, thanks. I am
poking around the website now - great resource!

We tried Holland Marine already, but they didn't have our toe rail. Rob
McLaughlin and Klacko Spars are new names for me - thanks for the links. If
anyone can think of other possible sources for that toe rail, please let me
know.
