Bow strip

Inlägg av Roman »

Hello,

sorry for English!
I am looking for the metal strip that goes from the tip of the bow down to the keel (see picture). Can somebody tell me where I can get one?
I do not know how it is named in Swedish and hence was failing to find such a topic in this forum.

Last year it looked like Göran Helmer (https://marieholmboat.se/) would have one, but this year he told me, that he is not able to get it.

Have you checked Secamper IF-shop? I think Bow rail is what you need.

In Sweden this is named "stävskena".

Original is 14 x 4 mm and about 1,2 to 1,4 m of length, made from silver eloxated brass.

There are other variants of "stävskena" or "slitskena" on the common boat accessory market, but they are mostly wider and higher and also made from stainless steel. I do not know how those will fit and if there vill be problems to bend the rail to fit the bow curvature.

Hello,

thank you very much for the fast response and the information!

There was no picture in the Seacamper shop, so I overlooked it. Thank you Johan to pointing me to it!
