But then this boat would be right at home near the altar in a church to serve as an example for all us miserable sinners who have never come close to that mirror finish or that rare wood rub rail. by the way, oiled ash turns black when it gets wet.. The rub rail is only the wooden ellement on the outside of the hull. this is generally a sacrificial strip of hardwood, that takes the abuses of docking and handling. when it's dinged up good, it's replaced with a new piece of hardwood..

Hi, i have a old timber cruiser built in about 1876. she is in quite good condition but the rub rails are destroyed in some areas. i have seen some comments about replacing them with spotted gum but haven't found a lot of info. But a wooden boat does not need to have plastic anyway close to their rails unless the boat is a throwaway boat. add a super good hardwood and then at minimum invest in a metal rail even if you use the hollow back bedded properly with good bedding compound..
