We pulled the tub rail off. I believe it is called the run rail. I am trying to find a replacement for it. Has anyone else replaced their run rail and if so where did you get it at?
it's a " run rail"

I also had to take my rub rail of my Santana21. Not being able to find a replacement, I sanded mine down to fresh Rubber and faired with thickened epoxy. Then faired again and painted with exterior acrylic enamel . I used a small foam roller for texture. Not perfect but from 5 feet distance you won't see many imperfections.
I'm following your work and I think you're doing a great job on a beautiful little sailboat.

I have spent 2 hours sanding my new paint job super smooooooth. I am impressed how hard that paint gets. I also got my primer done on the starboard side. I with sand it and it will be ready for paint.

I realize this is an old post, but as a former S-21 owner I would be interested in seeing photos of the final result, maybe even out sailing! Wish I still had the boat....

A salty looking option would be to glue (or pop rivet) some braded nylon line along the hull-deck joint. I have not done this but I have see it and to my eye, it looks very nice. Here are some pics I nabbed from Google
