On my 1980 version, the hull/deck joint has an internal flange which is bolted. Then the L shaped toe rail is bolted on top of that.

Thanks Dave. I hope Martin responds, he will be a great contact indeed. Our toe rail is symmetric, T-shaped, with screws on both sides of the vertical part. Here are some photos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/483a7kvckwx0ys5/AACbT_1GZsShvn8Xr7fWiHtRa?dl=0 We haven't found an exact match yet, so that's another task at hand. Some of the photos include a ruler for scale (both cm and in), Also, I have been reading online about the C&C designs in the 1970s. I can't find much about the limited edition 43', but here is what I am finding about the hull to deck joint on other C&C designs from the 1970s: - the deck and hull are attached via an internal flange, which is bolted -- is that typical? - the joint is also chemically bonded -- how does that work? is it common on C&C? - the toe rail is attached with screws (or bolts?) and provides additional stiffness to the joint Does this sound right? Is it typical for C&C construction at the time, or could our hull/deck joint be very different? What might happen when we remove the toe rail?

He has been working deck work on his boat and may be an informative source as regards your model. He hasn’t posted in some time but perhaps he may respond. Perhaps if you could identify the type of toerail that your boat has it would help. You may find that many listers here have some experience. FWIW, a good surveyor should be able to tell you what you are up against. I have done a complete deck lift and rebed on a Islander 37 with a teak toerail and one of my good friends has replaced the teak toerail with an aluminum toerail on his Cal 40. Non-trivial efforts in both cases. Good luck with your task.

Might someone here help with questions about the custom C&C 43' from 1973? This was a limited edition and I think only fourteen boats were ever built. We would like to replace the toe rail on our boat, but are unsure how that might affect the hull/deck joint. Some specific questions: 1 - What is the structure of the hull/deck joint on the 1973 C&C 43'? 2 - How is the toe rail integrated with the hull/deck joint? 3 - What happens if we remove the toe rail (or part of it)? Good advice will be appreciated. Thanks, Violeta _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
