Author	Topic:   Newport Railings
Salty	posted 04-01-2015 02:56 PM ET (US)         On a 1987 Newport, is the bow rail a solid one-piece rail or is it pieced together? If it's pieced, where are the joints? Thanks, Salty.

These are pics of the Newport I sold two years ago and the one featured on page 66 of Cetacea. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/jeff_rohlfing/library/ 1976%20Newport%2052812?sort=2&page=1

After clicking on the picture and holding down "Ctrl" and pressing "+" several times it enlarges the picture several times and shows the joint where the railing appears to pass through the stanchion joint (fitting) very well.
