Rubbing strakes

[BRYAN ASTONParticipant @bryanaston57723]

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.

Paul ,Kip. , David

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.

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