Dodger Hand Rails

I want to add hand rails to the side of my dodger but can only find ones where you have to drill thru the dodger frame to attach them. Has anyone found a source for rails that clamp onto the frame?

Thanks!

Chuck,
Sailrite makes a handrail for the side of the dodger frame that they use in their dodger kit. About $61.50 each. check out http://www.sailrite.com/search?keywords=hand rails.

Chuck -

Just FYI, our dodger handrails were installed right after we bought Tehani in ​Maryland. They are mounted in holes drilled right through the canvas and dodger frame. At first I was upset, as this looked lazy and less than ship-shape. However, after five years, they look like the day they were installed, with no fraying of the canvas. We consider this perhaps the single best upgrade we've done on the boat!
