I would not expect the rails (or any other SS parts) to be hot while sailing. I guess different story when you are stationary (at the dock or on anchor).

I’m a big stainless fan, but not so much for handrails in the summer sun. I was seriously considering stainless for my handrails as I had a friend who went that route. But when I went to admire and be inspired by his rails, I grabbed ahold of one and nearly got 2nd degree burn. The impression I got was that a hot rail is a safety concern. I’m thinking of HDPE rails (aka a Starboard equivalent) may be the way to go. While StarBoard/SeaBoard are a bit pricey, there are equivalents such as outdoor grade HDPE or UV stabilized HDPE sign boards which cost nearly half as much. - Paul E. 1981 C&C Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Fort Walton Beach, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsvjohannarose.blogspot.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C11db45417d9a404204a608d6967da363%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636861863682904459&sdata=3kVXRy0Oq%2BUH6hTqzZHy9or%2FrmFeLyXjhf0V%2FZUTE5A%3D&reserved=0> On Feb 18, 2019, at 10:11 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2019 21:15:43 -0500 From: Josh Muckley <muckl...@gmail.com> To: "C&C List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Epoxy or not.
