I would like to replace my teal handrails with stainless ones. I cannot find them anywhere online. Does anyone know where I can get some for an IP 32?
I know their out there because I've seen them but no idea where they got them.

Thanks
Jim

The Island Packet factory wanted to replace my teak handrails with stainless steel. I bet you can get stainless steel handrails from the Island Packet factory. Give Bill Bolin a call and he probably can help you. Bill is at the St Petersburg Florida boat show right now, so give him a day or two to return to the factory and then give him a call.

I love the teak handrails, but I sure would LOVE to have stainless eyebrows! What a major pain they are! B)

I talked about this sometime ago with Keith Lindholm, perhaps by now a former IP31 owner, about doing the same thing on my 31. At the time the factory had told him the name of the company doing their ss hand rails and when Keith asked the company about manufacturing them for a 31 he was told that the form set up to produce them for a 31 would coast thousands to do and would make the cost of the hand rails prohibitive. That was the last I heard about ss handrails for smaller IPs. If they are out there for a 32 it can't be much different for a 31, can it? Love to hear what the latest is about this upgrade if it exists.

What about using PlasTEAK for the eyebrows? If your teak is natural, easy to match. Gloss varnish is probably another story, but could just go with color matched to the cabin sides.

We sewed up covers for the handrails and really keep them on most of the time as the handrails are still fully functional with the covers on.
