Fitting the rubbing strake to the starboard side

After hanging round and sorting out the correct length it was taken apart so that the inner parts was able to be steamed to the shape of the hull.


Once that was done then the holes were drilled through the inner section was counter bored to take a penny washer and a nyloc nut to the fix the inner part in position and then the outer part will be fixed on after.


Then the rest of the holes were counterbored ready to fix the inner section once all the work is done on the forward end of the rubbing strake


Another job which as been underway while the fender was being done was the polishing of the blue stripe.


A close up of how the rubbing strake is going to fixed in position once the rest of the work is done on the rubbing strake


The shie is coming back to the blue stripe just a bit more compounding and polishing to come before it is ready.
