Bill, Roger has a bunch of them if you want to try and they are cheap. Except
he says he found them also fiddly to do. I'll let you know how I go when I do
my foam rails very shortly if I can find a method better than Rogers. I will
try first to put on a light single spiral layer that will allow easy bending
and shaping to the deck then cover the foam with the necessary amount of
reinforcement. Should be a snap, but then I do not have the ULTIMATE knowledge
and am burdened with a Ph.D! (in joke for the readers of sailing anarchy).

Greg,
Size doesn't matter, right? Actually, mine are 62" long by 1 1/2" high, and
1 3/4" wide at the base and 1 3/8" wide along the top. Together, the finished
cedar rails weigh 5 lbs or 2.4 kg, with the channels and the exit block holes
cut and glassed. Getting them uniform and shaped to fit the deck was a trick.
With USA040, I may try the foam cored rails.
