[Rhodes22-list] Spring Lines

[Peter Nyberg]

Jay,

The photo came through, and I can see the track mounted to your toe-rail.  I can see the advantage, as it reduces clutter underfoot.  I also notice a chock mounted to the toe-rail forward, so it would seem that perhaps the entire toe-rail is solid fiberglass, not just the area under the track.

Thanks for sharing…

—Peter
