Mike:
Do not cut or drill the toerail.....there is no need to....drain the
water out as some here have explained, rope or sponge, whatever works
for you....I cut about an 8 to 9 inch piece of cotton 1/4" rope....place
about 3 inches on the deck where the water pools...tie it to the toerail
with some whipping twine and place the rest out of the toerail so it is
lower than the level of the water.....it will wick the water
out.....pretty simple!

So, Cut a piece of sponge about 1" square and 3-5 inches long. Slice
it half way through near the center. Now insert the sponge through
your rail hole near the water pool and open the cut slot to fit over
the lower part of the rail......... and then leave it alone and never
touch it again.
The water absorbs into the sponge and since the outer end is "lower"
than the inner end, water flows overboard and the whole thing dries up
in the sun............pick a dark color sponge and never take them
out............
Or you can remove them for sailing and then put them back
afterward.................DO NOT CUT into the RAIL................

You can also use a bit of cotton rope as a siphon, removing it while
under way of course. Almost like a baggywrinkle.

Hi all,
I just recently bought a C&C 33 Mk II and have noticed that I have
standing water around the aft part of the toerail for several days
after a rainfall.
I was thinking of putting a notch in the toerail to help it drain (at
least most of it) or perhaps a little 90 degree scupper from the deck
to the hull. Or am i better off just to leave well enough alone?
Thanks,
Mike
