Toe rails on 25.5 1984 sloop

[xtuxman@aol.com]

Storm damage has messed up the toe rails on my boat. I need to replace them. Where can I get them and how much are they each?Also if anyone has a good used mainsail let me know.Also would like to know how to install fairleads. I bought a 150 jib for the 25.5 and need to add a fairlead that will accomodate the 150.

You can add an additional length of T-track to accommodate the 150. I did this on my 25.5. I got the track from JSI. I drilled holes through the deck and liner and put oversized washers with lock nuts, just like the existing track is installed. Bedded the track with 3M 5200. Its been there 6 years with no problems.For just cruising or if you don't want to add the track, you can simply attach a swivel block to the toerail. I use this method for my 170 drifter, using Schafer 05 series blocks with snap shackle for quick and easy lead position adjustment. I sometimes use the toe rail blocks instead of the track if I want to widen the slot in heavy air.
