When stripping and varnishing the cap rail we decided to remove the stainless steel rubbing strake. We found it had not been installed with sealant on the screws and in one place some rot had occurred out of sight. Rot was removed and filled, luckily still out of sight, and all screws bedded with sealant after 7 coats of Le Tonquinois. Quite an exercise with the boat still in the water but worth while.
