I am trying to find a source of `D` section, 5mm, rubber strip to go around the hull of my 1896 model paddle tug.   Can anyone help, please.   Many thanks,   Peter M

Do a search on the site. There was a thread with a lot of info about this not very long ago.

Does it have to be rubber? These guys do half-round Plastruct:

I can recommend their service.

This was the previous thread Colin mentioned.
There are some links on here to potential suppliers

I wouldn't have thought that a tug would have had rubber rubbing strips in 1896.  I think it would more likely have been wood sections, shaped to a D-fender like shape.

Thanks all.   Trevor you are probably correct, I was taking the easy way out.
