Does anybody know where to get it? I'm not talking about the stuff I've seen in wickes or B&Q that is wide but the nice narrow stuff seen on many new yachts like the Bavarias etc. I've done many an Internet search but only come up with the wide stuff.

I know I could use wood that Robbins supplies but I'd really like the plastic!
 
I used PVC tongue and groove that is used for the underside of soffits in the UK. This is about 100 mm wide, I don't know if you consider this to be narrow or wide.

I was hoping for something between 2-6. Found some great pictures of white, thin, hollow section pvc cladding but nothing as narrow as I need. My boat's too small for 10cm wide cladding. Looks good in the boat pictured, though.
 
I used Eurocell 10mm hollow section and 10cm wide but covers to 3.5 ins after overlaps. This is a tongue and groove so you can cover the screws in the next tongue. Also comes in wider pieces 200 & 300mm so really fast to fit and with male and female edge sections to get a neat edge fit. H section for centre line join (helps to split in event of removal ) Quite flexible for curves particularly length ways. You can route wires through the hollow section. Also being light does not need many fixings. If I was doing it again I would use builders grab adhesive. My cabin (catamaran £80 to cover about 100 square feet including U edge trims, H trims a mix of 100mm wide, 200 and 300 and screws) has been up 5 years now and still pure white and not affected by UV. Good insulation and a revelation after messing around for years with foam backed vinyl, vinyl on ply and other panels. If you plan the way you put it on you can then take it off easily for access to deck fittings. You can tell I am a convert!
