[Rhodes22-list] Looking for used R22 Stern Rail

[Peter Nyberg]

I've got a stern rail that I took off my boat when I added my DIY 'arch' for two 100 watt solar panels.  This is a genuine stainless steel General Boats railing, and was pretty sturdy.  Unfortunately, a section got somewhat bent at some point while it was in storage in my back yard.  If you're interested, I could take the time to see how well the bend can be straightened.
