Help - capping rail protection

[longjohnsilver]

Having spent days sanding and treating our teak rails I'm now looking for something to protect them from fender ropes. We saw something inn Jersey on a beautiful AquaStar made of sheeps skin leather/wool with a jamming cleat on top to hold the rope. However I have no idea what it's called and a google search has drawn a blank.
Any ideas what it's called and even better who sells them?

I know exactly what you are referring to and don't know the "official" name either. But I have seen them on Flemming's. Give Flemming in Southampton a ring on 02380 337289. I'm sure they will know what they are called.

Fenderhooks, google them, bit expensive though.

If you got some stainless bent to cover with sheepskin and some cheap plastic jam cleats, I reckon theyd be just as good!
I looked at them for Englander, I might just try and make some myself.
