Do what Dennis said get the AWL grip card and match the color. Awl grip
has more than one red. Fireball is red and after wiping out a bell
buoy in the fog (GPS can be very accurate) the person who did AWL grip
got the wrong red and had to re-apply the red.

While inspecting a '74 35-2, I noticed something quite alarming: it appears
that in an effort to allow drainage off the decks, someone decided to cut a
small section of the toerail out, about 1/4" wide, using a hacksaw or
recip. saw. I could see where the saw blade nicked the deck slightly below,

Lots of people including myself have used various wicking mechanisms to
draw the water away from the low points. Old halyard or sponge threaded
through the toe rail are popular options.

On my friend's C&C Mk.1 there is a joint in the Toe Rail extrusion as two
different toe rails are used. The two different Toe Rails are identical
except the forward section has twice as many of the holes in the side per
foot to clip snatch block, etc. to. That joint isn't what you're seeing is
it
I have a similar issue on my 37 the water drain groove and scuppers are always
full because the drain is below the waterline. The low spot along toe rail is
about 2-3 ft in front of the scupper so water sits here and also in the groove
leading to the scupper. I am so tempted to drill a small ho
Bad, bad, idea to cut or drill the toe rail. Most of us use a wick.

Wow, that is interesting about the saw cut on the deck. I will have to
inspect the photo I took; it sure looked amateurish to me. I would sooner
cut a notch in the glass below the toe rail, then epoxy it smooth both
inside and outside to allow water to drain under the rail. I've seen some
boats whe

Hi Shawn,
Stop over thinking it. Buy a Catalina 27 and learn to sail, then you can be
more comfortable with a C&C.
Yes some people have cut a small slit for the water on the deck, while the rest
of us just wick the moisture off. We still get a green deck with the pollen,
mold and slime in

You need to stop obsessing about this boat.
Looking at boats for less than 20,000 and
expecting 50,000 dollar results. Give it up.
This toe rail thing is a non-issue. Sweet had a
discontinuous toe rail from the factory. There is
a joint just abaft the shrouds. The toe ra
