Default Repairing/replacing the toe rail

On my Gulfstar 36 there is a teak toe rail. The port side rail is
rotting away and needs to be replaced. I was quoted $100 a foot for
labor and materials. That means a 20 foot section needing to be
replaced will cost me $2000. I am thinking of replacing it with
plastic or aluminum or even leaving it off altogether. I have a two
level lifeline so the toe rail is not all that necessary. Yes I know
that one can slip under the rail but it would seem to me this is
unlikely as anyone that is conscious should be able to get the lower
line under their armpit before sliding under the rail.

Anyone have any sources for aluminum or plastic toe rails?
