Rubbing Strakes

Build Day 10

L-R Steve and Ian

We arrived at Lambon Boats yesterday afternoon to find Steve and Ian tacking the last rubbing strake to the bow.

Applying a bit of leverage and brute force

    Guard irons, not rubbing strakes.

    Thanks for the correction Anonymous. It is probably a frequent error as I'm not alone in getting the terminology wrong.

    Guard 'irons' were applied to wooden boats - 'STEEL' rubbing strakes are the norm for the the modern build boats.

    I hate to differ sir, I think you will find that they are called metally pointy bits on the front.

    Ah Lisa
    You have obviously grasped the terminology in a wholehearted fashion, you will be modelling the anorak soon I fear -
