I'm in the midst of completely refurbishing my 23-T.I've Awl-Gripped the bottom & need to replace the rubrail.Any suggestions will be helpful-I'm not crazy about the standard aluminum with vinyl insert variety.  Walt Duke   EGRET

I'm also refitting (rebuilding?) my T-23 and would like to replace the battered original vinyl rubrail extrusion with a new one of the same or similar shape to fit the existing aluminum deck joint channel. Does anyone have any sources for the vinyl extrusion? Thanks.

I have a 34 MkII and found a company named WEFCO rubber out of CA listed on the Columbia-yachts.com website. I called them and order a replacement rubrail for my boat (85 feet) I am not sure if it is the same as yours but they custom make many varieties I had it in less than two weeks for 3.50 a foot. I hope this helps.Captain Pern

Walt, I too am restoring a 23T. The one I purchase was in pieces. I don't have the original rigging plans. Any chance you have some plan, pictures of your boat of advice to help me understand how the boat was originally rigged? Kevin
