Dear Sailors,

I have a 74 model C22. Does anyone of you have a hole for draining in the toe rail. Water is collecting on both sides aft near the toe rails, resulting in dirt collecting (in the nice new gelcoat). Have any of you made a fix to this, or this is not a problem on your boats? I am now rebedding the toe rails. I have read the "how-to" pages, but I am wondering if your holes in the toe rails have become as big as mine. I Have to drill a lot of extra holes...

Happy Sailing,

Haakon Dybdahl

I'm not sure what rebedding the toe rail would change. Now I assume the watter your are talking about is accumulating in the gunnels near the rear of the boat, about a foot or two from the stern. Mine does that too, but I'm not sure what rebedding the toe rail would do to help it.

I just clean the gunk every time I go to the boat.

I suppose you could find the low spot and drill a hole but that could lead to other problems.
