When I bought my boat I only got the rails because they were part of a
package deal, but I think I would just about do without anything else other
than the rails now. They are a very strong attachment point for tying
lines, but probably just as important or more important, you can use them to
lean back against. Call me lazy, but I like to be able to rest my back on
something. Without the rails I don't know what that would be on my P15.
