Sealing the Toe Rail

Mark All Messages By This Member #507 I wipe the toe rail down with Penetrol a couple times a year. It makes it nice and black, seals them and lasts several months. I do it on a hot sunny day so it will dry quickly. Mark Nashville Hull #15 Bill, sorry for delay..digging out from the 35 inches of snow we received last weekend...tired of shoveling driveway, roof, etc... Re the "weeping toe rails" i feel your frustration...i haven't found any solution. and its a pain to clean off after the boat as been sitting on the hard for 6 months...i thought of doing a really deep cleaning of the tos rail..with a toothbrush...amd the maybe waxing the rail to see of that helps.. might try it on a section of the rail, if it works.... thx for posting pictures. toggle quoted message Show quoted text --- In s227classassociation@..., "sailjw" wrote: Rick For the last 4 years I have sailed on Lake Keowee in SC. Before that the boat was on Lake Lanier north of Atlanta GA. I have enjoyed the boat and even when I was tempted to up size I keeping coming back to the quality of the S2 27. Overall a very good boat and the right size for lake sailing. Just enough room for a weekend stay. I put a couple of photos on the site under Dream Unfolding the boats name. One pressing question I have is has anyone found a way to keep the black toe rail from bleeding black on the hull after it rains.

Have enjoyed the boat and have a lot of miles under her keel thru the years both racing and cruising. Bill
sailjw All Messages By This Member #508 I must admit I have done little in the past to try and stop the black streaking(seemed like a lot of work). But I did work on it this past weekend(and it was a lot of work). I used a metal cleaner/wax to hopefully get rid of some of the oxidation and followed up with a metal sealer. The rail looks good, just have to give it a few weeks and a few rains to see if it helps with the streaking. I'll let you know. For those of you who are snow bound I hate to tell you I was working on the boat at the dock in 60 to 65 degrees last weekend. Of course its 45 this weekend but no snow down south.
