Rubbing Band & Keel Band
In boating, rubbing bands and rub strakes are used to protect the deck or hull of a ship from scratches, abrasion and other damage. These are profile strips that protrude slightly from the hull. When berthing, only the protective strip touches the pier, so the boat hull cannot be damaged. For this purpose, seawater-resistant rub rails made of brass or stainless steel are particularly suitable for boating and traditional yachting. These are available in various dimensions as semicircular profile, flat profile or hollow profile, ready for installation or undrilled. …
… professional craftsmen know exactly where to use the appropriate fasteners and materials for the boat. To avoid work standstill due to material shortage, the shipyard store should also stock special steel screws, ring and eye bolts, threaded rods with compatible rings and bow or wing nuts. These have to meet the high demands of traditional shipbuilding craftsmanship. But the lack of a wood plug or a galvanized rove whilst boat repair work shouldn't be a problem - you can contact Toplicht to refill your magazine.
