Having dry fitted the starboard inner rubbing strake, it was time to then glue the scarph joint and then put the sealant on the back face of the rubbing strake to seal the fixing holes where the bolts which hold the inner section of the rubbing strake in position.
With the aid of a couple of sash clamps which ensured the rubbing strake was fitted under the blue stripe and along the hull.
This time the rubbing strake is fitted with a good sized machine screw and penny washers to spread the weight larger area and ensure the rubbing strake sit on the hull along it length of the new rubbing strake.
The port side now dry fitted and all the holes drilled to take the penny washers and machine screws when it is fitted in the same manner as the starboard side
The sash clamps in position to ensure the rubbing strake are in the correct position.
