Are there any manufacturers out there making HDPE handrails. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Wickett" <billwick@gmail.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 7:49 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: more market research!
I agree. No teak trim. Use stainless or aluminum where required. I am thinking of adding a stainless rub rail below the teak toe rail on the fiberglass flange. Grab rails on top of the cabin top could be stainless.

Chuck the teak! Go with a full perforated aluminum toe rail and machine all the other stuff, hatch boards, hatch board trim, aux engine mount, and any other trim, from HDPE. Damn! it's 2009 You can still make a salty looking, great performing boat and reduce the maintenance. Or, I guess you could offer teak for all those guys out there who have nothing better to do with their time than varnish, Me I'd rather sail OOPS ! did I write this out loud

P.S. HDPE comes in colors, maybe a mahogany brown would fit the bill.

Yes, lapstrake, and the trim hasn't been decided yet. First things first!
