I don't know what you have, but Hamilton Marine in Maine shows many different styles in their catalog. You can find them online via a google search.
Hope this helps.

I have a 27 and the corners are in need of replacement. I have been looking a long time for some rail corner that is suitable. If you get anything good I would like to take a look. Thanks.

I repaired the rub rail on my 1987 Albin 27 FC. The rub rail is in two parts. The outer part (the black rubber rail) snaps over the inner plastic "U" shaped channel. The channel is pop riveted over the hull to deck flange. I replaced the broken channel and bolted it back in place with 1/4" x 1" hex head bolts and nylon lock nuts. Where the outer rub rail was damaged, I cut the rail and screwed it (from the under side) to the channel. The rub rail must be warm to hot and pulled tight before screwing. I laid the rub rail on the dock in the sun for an hour before trying to work it. If the hull to deck joint is damaged (like my was), it has to be repaired before installing the rail or the joint will leak. All my parts came from Hamilton Marine.

it you need any additional info, contact me at Canalgal@embarqmail.com.
