Those toe rails are to help keep you from slipping off the cabin roof on your journey to the foredeck. So far my cabin roof has held me up and I am about 190 pounds. If I were to build another pocketship I would add another beam midway on both sides of the hatch for a little more support. If you change the width or height of the toe rails review the deck rigging plan first. The shrouds and the jib sheet blocks could be affected.
Once you get the mast, shrouds, and boom attached there are things to hang on to so the journey gets easier.
