Cape Dory 22 Cabin Deck Handrails

Post by appletim1 »

I'd like to remove and replace the handrails on the cabin deck top, and was wondering where to source them. They measure 39 1/2 inches long with three openings. The ones I have seen online measure only 33 inches, from SeaTeak at West and Defender. Do I need to make them myself to the correct dimension?

Thanks in advance for the help, and Happy Holidays.

Tim:

This company may be of some assistance. They have a selection of lengths. Sadly, none are exactly your length. However, you may be able to work with one of their standard lengths or they may be able to make a custom size for you. I have purchased a few small items from them and have found the owner to be pleasant to deal with. The material I ordered was/is quality. I have not purchased from them in more than 2 years.

I would think the important measurement would be to make sure the new hand rail teak holes line up with the current deck holes.
