Wooden Rubbing Strakes ???

[centauro]

Recently bought a 1974 420 dinghy on ebay.

Has wooden rubbing strakes but one side shot to pieces

Has any one any idea where I can get a replacement from or do I need to replace both sides ?

If you take a sample of the broken side to a joiner or good timber supplier then you should be able to get a length run up. Whereabouts are you?

Sounds like an easy scarphing job. Get some similar hardwood made up from a local good timber merchant, glue, shave, screw, sand and varnish. Job's a good'un.

Errrrr........how about making one??

Just get some hardwood (I got mahongany) cut to size and epoxy it on.
