Reinstalled stainless steel cap/rub rail on the top surface of the toe rail. Placed a "button" of Need entry for 4200 on top of each screwhole before placing the rail and inserting the screws. Supported the far end, non-working end, of the rail from the lifeline or shroud using a length of cord. Method worked well to support the steel above the toerail with enough flexibility in the rail to allow several screws to be set before adjusting the height of the support.

After the boat was lifted into the slings, painted the full length of the bottom of the keel with Trinidad XSR .

  1. orange: three coats Trinidad XSR , each 2mil thick, up to 6mil total originally.

  3. red: two coats Trinidad Pro , each 2mil thick, 4mil total originally. Thickness reduced by a varying amount due to longboarding.
  4. white: one coat Petit Protect , 4mil thick originally. Thickness reduced by a varying amount due to longboarding.
