Wooden grabrail replacement

I have a 1984 C36 and need to replace one of the grabrails on the deck. Does anybody know where I can get these?

You have to count the number of loops. Then see if West Marine or other local chandleries have them in that length. Be very careful also of the length, spacing and dimensions of the loops. Sometimes the long length and number of loops that were used on our boats weren't available in standard off the shelf replacements. If that doesn't work, either try to glue the pieces together (you didn't explain the extent of the damage that required the replacement). Or call Catalina Yachts and see if they have them - I recognize the shipping issues entailed for you in Canada.

Thank you for your response.
I have repaired the broken one and glued it together but it does not look as good as an unbroken one.
I will try the stores like West Marine but when I go on their websites they do not have any mention of grab rails.
