(hull) fender Explanation: After going round in circles for a day or so, I have come to the conclusion that "fender" should do the trick - the purpose of a "bourlingue" being to protect the hull, and that is exactly what a fender does ...(so does good seamanship, but a "bourlingeur" may or may not be a good seaman ...). See link below. Reference: http://www.pretread.com/fenders.html |

rubber rubbing strake Explanation: In addition to my original comments, I finally ended up contacting the father of my children, a chap with 20 years yachting cruising experience and twenty experience on the professional ocean racing circuit. He confirmed that the term is never used - I dared contradict him as we have the Akser's source and at least one webhit : http://bateau-occasion.vivastreet.fr/annonces-bateau-occasio... Bourlingue caoutchouc standard Never the less, there is concensus of opinion that this is absolutely uncommon usage. There is also concensus that we know what this is now though! A rubbung strake affair held in a sort of rail, alu or stainless steel, a bit like a skinny tyre all the way round. In the ASkers case, the track the strake is held in is clearly in aluminium. I tried "rubber rubbing strake" and got over 28K Ghits. http://www.eliteyachtcompany.com/boat-details.php?id=414 http://www.apolloduck.com/dealer.phtml?next=0&bid=286&fx=USD... http://www.apolloduck.com/dealer.phtml?next=0&bid=286&fx=USD... Kidi mieux? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day4 hrs (2009-07-14 20:49:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Dear Zkt, ARe you able to indicate the mdoel § manufacturer of the baot in question? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day19 hrs (2009-07-15 11:03:13 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- ASker : Certainly wouldn't put coating on a rubber rubbing strake. Maybe the rail holding the thing in place is plastic and thus coated. A 45 mega motor yacht may be a one-off, but the name of the boat or the yard would be useful, but I can understand reasons of confidentiality too !!! Michael : "ceinture" In have come across too. Boats can be "ceinturé" by a "liston", for exampel. ANyway, lunch time then I'm back out again! |
