Hi, Does anyone know where I can purchase a teak handrail for the coach roof of my Nonsuch 26? I tried to pick one up at my local chandlery, but they didn’t have the same style. I don’t want to drill new holes etc. Thanks

With a little (very little!) skill, you can make them, or order them from a bunch of places. I’m not going to suggest that there is any sort of a “standard placement”, but the ones from West Marine are the same hole distances as on my boat.

Hi Robert,

If you need to have custom made rails to match the originals, you might try Abbott Boats in Sarnia Ontario. [Abbott Boats Inc. — Builder — Sailboat Guide](https://sailboat.guide/abbott)

If this interests you, call Billy Abbott at +1 519 331-0844 or the store at +1 519 542-2771. Abbotts could build new teak grab rails that will be indistinguishable from the originals and line up with the original mounting system.

…..Ed
