The stuff you are looking for is actually 3/4 of a circle with tabs of
fabric. It therefore is not a P section but more like an Omega. I have
always folded the top tab under so that it looks like a P section on the
boat. The row of screws on the top of the gunwale is covered by the folded
tab. I hope this is clear.

OK, I need something and can't find it (google can't either). There is a
gunwhale guard or rubrail that is a 'P' section of closed-cell foam
covered in white canvas.

I want this stuff because it fits the gun'l naturally, it's light, and
it's great padding. I hate to scuff & scratch our boat (or anybody else's)
bringing a dinghy alongside.

I know this stuff exists because I've seen it on chandlery shelves. But
where the heck can I order it? Somebody please help!

Thanks
