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.
