I made new teak handrails for my C&C29mk1 following the instructions in Don Casey’s book. It was fairly easy, took only an afternoon, and the cost was about $100 for a pair(mostly cost of teak). But I needed access to a table saw, planar, and router which I do not own.
The handrails (outside and inside) are held together by long machine screws with nuts in the inside rails just behind the bungs. The screw heads are in the outside rails behind the bungs. I removed the rails, over drilled, wetted, and filled with thickened epoxy. I used the old rails to transfer the bolt holes to the new rails(but one could use the inside rails too), and later used the rails to transfer the holes to the deck. Don Casey has a trick of scalloping the handrails to aid in bedding. It appears to have worked well for me, up until I sold my 29 (+4 yrs) I did not have any leaks via the rails. - Paul E. 1981 C&C Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL > On Feb 16, 2015, at 12:00 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Message: 3 > Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:15:51 -0500 > From: Curtis <cpt.b...@gmail.com <mailto:cpt.b...@gmail.com>> > To: "cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>" > <CnC-List@cnc-list.com <mailto:CnC-List@cnc-list.com>> > Subject: Stus-List Hand rail replacement teak or Stainless ? > Message-ID: > <calf-bntvycp-lx5nmv7jsouiyxqyuvktpgx2vhyyfn6bfsv...@mail.gmail.com > <mailto:calf-bntvycp-lx5nmv7jsouiyxqyuvktpgx2vhyyfn6bfsv...@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > I have the need after 34 years to replace the outside hand rails on my > C&C30MK 1 > Has anybody done this?
