HI John

Suggest looking at some of the trawler fleet web sites, they have archive photos, also contact them direct, as to finding them ready made, have a look at MMM web site, he makes assorts in resin, he would make a short run for you, probably add them to his range.

Hope this helps

Hi, have you ever thought of making your own from Evergreen Plastic Strip? Buy it in various shapes and sizes and it is easy to glue together – or – you could use brass – there are several model shops who sell the very small U shaped brass sections and these could easily be soldered together – but I would suspect making them from plastic would be far quicker and a lot easier as well. Scribbled a diagram to show you; as this is how I made the ones for the Trawler Spashett.

As John says, have a go with Evergreen plastic strip. You can make it exactly the way you want very easily and cheaply.

Isn't he asking how to make the stanchions, rather than the boards themselves?
