A rubbing strake is a projecting timber or steel bar fixed to the side of a vessel just above the waterline. A rubbing strake reduces wear and tear on a vessel's hull by absorbing the impact of docks, other ships, or debris in the water. In addition to reducing wear and tear, rubbing strakes can provide additional grip for crew members when boarding or disembarking a vessel. You can shop top brands such as Vetus in this collection.
Rubbing strake designs function to protect a boat's hull from damage. They provide a buffer between the hull and any objects the ship may encounter, like docks, rocks, or other vessels. Without them, the hull would be vulnerable to scratches, dents, and even holes.
Rubbing strakes also help the boat move through the water more efficiently. Redirecting the water flow around the hull can reduce drag and allow the ship to move faster. In choppy waters, they can prevent waves from breaking against the hull and causing damage.
