Teak Grab Rails

[Dave Pawloski]

I have a 1985 Hunter 31.
Years of wear and annual sanding have reduced my cabintop teak rails to where it is now time to replace them.
They are 56" long, with the bases 12 1/2" on center.

My local yacht yard has been unable to find proper matches, leaving me with the expensive alternatives of either:
a. Using off the rack grabrails with different centerlines, and the repairing the old holes in the deck.
b. Custom fabricating exact matches for big $$.

Does anyone know of a source for OEM (original equipment manufacturer) rails that will fit right out of the box ??

Did you try the store here? Are your rails screwed from the bottom through the interior liner? Mine are just screwed from the top into the plywood core. Filling the old holes is not a big deal. My old teak rails were 110" long and very expensive so I just made my own out of pvc board. I also just picked up a pair of brand new 52" teak rails on Ebay for cheap. Trying to find an exact match may drive you nuts.

One source of teak handrails is H&L Marine out of California. AFI also might make them.
