Hey Willy-boy, try the website http://www.hazegray.org/faq/slang2.htm
entitled "Naval Terminology, Jargon and Slang FAQ
Part 2 - N through Z"

In naval terminology it is "Toe Rail", regardless of what you week-end
dilettantes may call it.



Sorry, Bruce, but this ain't the Navy. This is a discussion group about
cruising and cruising boats. Some cruising boats have toerails. Saying
they have toe rails is just plain lubberly and clueless.

A toerail is a single entity. Just as a mainsail is a single entity.
Just as a deadlight is a single entity. Just as a portlight is a single
entity. Just as topsides is a single entity. If you have any nautical
background at all you wouldn't be trying so hard to *******ize
traditional sailing nomenclature.
