Richard,
C&C toerails are usually sealed with butyl rubber. Tightening the bolts tends
to squeeze out the butyl rubber. There's only so much there.
Like Dwight said, hang a piece of line through the toerail to wick water out of
the low spots. It also reduces the chalk line down the hull.
I treat mine annually with Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure. I run several
beads down the toerail/deck joint. It wicks into the joint. Eventually, the
stuff will build up and the leakage will diminish.
