Subject: [bolger] Chebacco Toe Rail
My Chebacco is coming along in the barn, and I am thinking ahead to
the deck's edging and the toe rail. The plan shows a 3/4" x 3/4"
wood strip next to the rubrail. I'd like something like the gunwales
on my canoe which are several wood strips with spacers. Tying off the
jib, tying on a canvas roof over the boom, tying on a fender, etc.
are thoughts that seem to justify a desire for such a toe rail.
Perhaps the Chebaccoistas (was this a Bill Samson term?) & others
will comment. I thought about keeping the current toe rail, add
spacer blocks of about the same dimension on top, and cap it with
another 3/4" sq. strip of wood. The upper and lower could possibly
be thinner.... Is this too much, a tripper, or?

Well, between Oz and Tasmania lies tricky water! I spent Sunday
morning going through my 20-something WB mags, looking for toe rail
details that would show me that others came up with this or a better
idea. Not much luck, though I did see one toerail of solid wood with
cutouts down to the deck that could act as both scuppers and spaces
for tying off this and that. (This would have a rope rubbing on the
deck and I'm not for that little maintenance-laden detail.)
Now I've been in Queensland and NSW and especially in Cairns where it
is tropical enough that webs could be everywhere. But in temperate
Massachusetts? While the barn here has its resident spiders and
webs, I think I'll opt, so far, for the "won't be no spiders"
option. Especially since my canoe hangs in the barn when not in use,
and has not yet gotten spider webs in its gunwales -- but did have a
nice one up under the breasthook. Thanks to both Perth and Tasmania
for your thoughts!
Two longitudinal roof beams on the Chebacco cuddy as of yesterday!
Wow! Getting past the slow work of hull-building is pure joy.
Today? Maybe nailers for the seats. This gets, after so many years
of planning & thinking, to be lots of quick progress and instant
gratification.
I'll not shout "Yahoo" as that might awake the website people, but
how about EEEEEE-AAAAAAHHHHH?

On the contrary - we had this gunwale arrangement on
an 11-foot tender when unwittingly pouring money into
two holes in the ocean with the assistance a large
sailing multihull. The tender - beautiful to row - was
great, and the 'strip' (inside the gunwale) a huge
help in lifting, tying-off etc. With enough space
(about 38mm between 'strip' and the actual gunwale),
no problem with maintenance-sanding-painting etc. Not
that one would want to hand-lift a Chebacco. No
spiders either, but then again we weren't in Oz...

are several wood strips with spacers. Tying off the
jib, tying on a canvas roof over the boom, tying
on a fender, etc. are thoughts that seem to justify a
desire for such a toe rail.

Actually the toe rail, deck hull join area is someplace you can be rather creative I think.. I notice a lot of folks use a gunwhale type strip at the connection of the hull / deck. I opted to heavily glue, screw, and fair that join, then mount toe rails about an inch inboard on the deck. I also broke the toe rail midships and put another chock / cleat just forward of the cockpit combing. I'd think you could pretty much do what you wish with the hollows in the toe rail, as long as it suits you aesthetically and functionally.
