Commanders do have a scupper on the deck about half way back in the cockpit area. And when she is sitting correctly on her lines in the water that is the low point of the side deck. However many of these boats do not sit on their designed water line they tend to sit bow up higher than they should. And that is what causes the water to accumulate at the aft end of the toe rail. I'm planning on trying to rebalance Destiny once I get the added lead pig out and batteries in. I will save the lead from the pig and possible remold a portion of it to fit in the chain locker to get her to sit correctly. But if I have too much weight in the laz I could easily end up with the same situation again.

I really like your idea of hard plumbing in the drain. That could be less costly and a better solution.
