Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rub Rail

Hi Duane, Attached is the drawing showing the cross section of the rub rail for our SM #240. Yours is may be similar. Should be of significant help in understanding the details. The rub rail is fiberglass integral with the hull, the rubber strip is simply a gutter and provides a closure. We have pulled it out and pushed it back in while repairing the fiberglass rubrail, not an easy job, but doable even on a 15 year old boat.

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.
