Bow rail protection from anchor rope

[simonfraser]

My hull has a rail fairly low down by the waterline, getting a braided by the nylon anchor rope as is swings with wind / tide in clement conditions

40cm or so on either side, I’ve seen some small adhesive patches for rope chafe on a sailboat

is similar available, but longer ? Can’t see it on google at the mo

could put flexible pipe or cloth round the anchor rode, not ideal imo

tnx

I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to picture your set up. I'm thinking cutting a bow roller in half length ways and rejoining it on the rail. (I might need to explain this better ).

Lol normal set up, the rode from the roller gets dragged down either side with the tide wind and abrades the hull near the water line

Look @ stone chip protection film in particular “ helicopter tape ” .This is a few mm thick Uber abrasive resistant transparent used to wrap + protect chopper blades .
