I have a 1960 Seafarer Tripp-30, full
fiberglass hull, that I was going to reinstall the
jib tracks on, which since the time of
purchase have not been installed. After speaking with the previous owner he showed me an old picture of the original track location and I realized I now have another
project to do. Installing a toe rail.
So my original thought was to through-bolt the
jib track into the
deck but since it's supposed to be attached to the toerail, and the toerail wasn't through-bolted (I'm assuming), and any type of bolt would just go downward into the
hull, now I have to take a step back and figure out the best way to attach the toerail to the
deck.
So, do I use screws to attach the toerail? If so how deep should they be set? Should I just
epoxy the wooden toerails to the deck? Or should I
bed it with some caulking and screws?
Any other tips would be appreciated since I'm still fairly new to all of this. Thanks!
