[Rhodes22-list] Fiddle Rail

[Wally Buck]

Slim,

When I got my boat the rail was not even mounted, it was laying under a 
bunmch of other crap in the cabin. I guess PO had the same proble. It was in 
one piece and I just screwed back in place. Mine  is not secure enough to 
use as a hand rail.

We don't spend much time in the cabin when sailing hard. We keep a small 
cooler on the cabin floor and usually time refills so the boat is not 
heeling.

I am sure Rummy's method will work. :)

Wally
