Just by using the search function, I found these....

That's my old 16 with teak rails in the pics.

And there was another one that I can't find...a guy used bent SS rails with SS bases to create a rail on top of the coaming. I think they were SeaDog branded so perhaps looks in their catalog.

A simple curved wood rail with risers to the height you want would work and be simple enough to make with basic tools and some ingenuity.

Either way you're probably going to have to cobble it together yourself unless you are lucky and find a rail you want pre made.

Thank you, I had seen these, they are beautiful and very functional.  Looking for something not quite so elaborate  stainless steel or aluminum.  But thank you.  I going to do a search, but I'll ask,  anyone dry sail their cp 16 (launch from the trailer with a crane)?
