I'm sure you can replace the toe rail with the original material.
I think J/24s recently are being made with a plastic toe rail. You might try checking with TPI to see if they have any.
While the class has approved replacing the handrails with different materials, nothing has been done about toe rails. You should probably check with the measurer, Larry Christy alchristy@earthlink.net
If you're racing PHRF rather than class, there probably isn't any penalty for replacing toe rails. Again, check with the PHRF fleet you're racing with to make sure.
