Hi, It is not that difficult to make teak hand rails. I made a pair for my first C&C (29mk1) following Don Casey’s instructions in either “This Old Boat” or “Sailboat Maintenance”. It worked out well and cost about $50 for the pair.
On my Landfall 38, I got tired to refinishing and resealing leaky teak rails so I replaced them with through bolted stainless rails. The LF38 has 3 pairs of rails, one pair outside of the companionway, a traditional pair mid-ship, and a forward pair near the v-birth hatch. I was quoted over $1,300 to fabricate new stainless rails, but instead I decided to install 8 pairs of stainless rails purchased from AliExpress. I was initially cautious and purchased 1 pair first, and being pleased with the quality I purchased the remaining. Total cost was just over a $100. It’s been over 2 years and I LOVE them. I never got around to a blog write up, but I just posted a couple photos if anyone is interested. Below is the link to the photos along with a link to AliExpress for similar rails as the one I purchased are no longer available from the original vender. http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/2023/12/replacing-teak-handrails-with-ali.html https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805192680163.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000014.17.5679kv3rkv3rUu&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.40050.362094.0&scm_id=1007.40050.362094.0&scm-url=1007.40050.362094.0&pvid=e62bd7d6-6d96-4607-91cb-5f29329d3191&_t=gps-id:pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller,scm-url:1007.40050.362094.0,pvid:e62bd7d6-6d96-4607-91cb-5f29329d3191,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238108%231977&pdp_npi=4%40dis!USD!26.52!13.0!!!189.00!!%402101c59517020599422635497e2c30!12000032810623134!rec!US!175453092! - Paul E. 1981 C&C Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Fort Walton Beach, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > > >> On Dec 7, 2023, at 6:44 PM, Peter W. via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> >> wrote: >> >> Allan, hi, >> I would like to acquire your old hand rails. >> How much do you want for them, and what is the shipping cost? >> >> Thx, >> Pete W. >> Siren Song >> 30-2 #171 >> Sent from my iPad >> >>> On Nov 30, 2023, at 6:05 AM, Allan Rheaume <drumroll30m...@yahoo.ca> wrote: >>> >>> >>> Hi Pete, >>> I have the rails your looking for, I changed to stainless 3 >>> years ago and the old ones are in my boat shed. >>> >>> Allan Rheaume >>> Drumroll >>> 30-2 # 90 >>> >>> On Wednesday, November 29, 2023 at 08:28:57 p.m. EST, Peter W. via CnC-List >>> <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: >>> >>> >>> Anyone had any experience to share regarding the replacement of hand rails? >>> I am looking for two(2) 6-loop hand rails for my 30MKII. >>> I found several web sites, but I am not familiar with any of vendors. >>> Also, from the (lack of) info, I can’t determine if the loops will match up >>> with the existing holes in the deck. >>> >>> Thanks, >>> >>> Pete W. >>> Siren Song >>> ‘90 C&C 30MKII >>> Irvington, Va. >>> Sent from my iPad >>> Please show your appreciation for this list and the Photo Album site and >>> help me pay the associated bills.
