Rubbing strakes

Gentlemen

In the past I have been able to buy plastic D shaped rubbing strips/ strakes for protecting the sides of model boats, despite my searching the usual sites and dealers catalogues I have been unable to locate any ,does anyone know of a supplier or are they a thing of the past, they can be either plastic or rubber I am not fussy.

Squires Model Supplies in Bognor Regis list it within their catalogue (Pg. 339) which is available on-line, but you will need to phone them for the current price(s). 01243 842424 - Sizes quoted are in the range 0.75 to 6.4 mm X 250 mm/10 inches.

Thankyou all for your links it is obvious that I was using the wrong description I should have used the word FENDER not Strakes or rubbing strips, I shall remember that in future.

Many thanks

Bryan

Bryan,

Models by Design usually have a good selection at the shows I have been to. They still list it on their website.

Greetings all

Thankyou to all who replied to my plea for help , I went on Model Dockyard yesterday Wednesday ordered rubber fender strip ,delivered this morning ,what a service ,by the way the strip was made in France why not here.

Thanks

Bryan

Perhaps because France has the cheapest power prices in the EU, while the UK has one of the highest...?
