My Catalina 30 is missing the wood trim pieces for the cabin top (some folks call eyebrows). The screws are in place, but apparently a previous owner removed them for maintenance but never returned them. I would like to replace them, but I have no idea as to size. I presume they're made from teak. I have access to woodworking machinery. Thanks!
Specs or source for Catalina 30 cabin top wood trim (eyebrows)?

They are are hard to source because of their length, look locally. I removed mine on my Catalina 30 and current boat (which your PO did too apparently), I think they look better without them and there's no maintenance. Alternatively, you could use a synthetic teak, PlasTeak is an excellent source: Home - PlasTEAK Inc.
Catalinadirect.com has them for your boat, but they cost over $400 US. As many have suggested remove and fill holes, in 1 year you will have forgotten they were ever there.
Good luck

Thanks for all of the responses. I'm leaning toward filling in the holes and not replacing them. I like the idea of less to maintain.
Cheers!

If you're interested, my C30 dock neighbor replaced his teak rails with composite. I could ask him where he got them. He may have made them himself.
My H30 has all composite exterior trim. No maintenance at all.

I just purchased Teak Eyebrows from Buck Woodcraft. They have multiple sizes and trims for your boat. Reasonable on the price, but freight is outrageous.
