Subject: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rub Rail

The rub rail suffered damage due to being struck by
another boat while at anchor.  I've read about how this
is a rubber strip applied to the hull.  On my boat (2005
Amel Super Maramu) it appears to be fiberglass.  Am I
mistaken?  I can't feel any seam below the rub rail, it
feels like and appears to be composite with the hull.  The
gutter is a separate piece that sets on top of the rub rail
and there is a seam there.

It's frustrating because I went to the
other boat after they anchored and politely told them I had
100' of chain out (a 4:1 scope) and they were too
close.  They said they would "keep an eye on
it".  We should have moved then, but there are very
few choices right now.  The collision occured due to wind
adverse to current and the propensity for their Cabo Rico to
"sail" on the anchor.
