The Elvestrom hull which you have was originally fitted with a rubber moulding for the rubbing strip.It is no longer available as someone else was looking for the same earlier this year on the BFA website.He was advised to have a strip or strips made up from hardwood by using a router and glueing and screwing in place.I think the guy concerned will see your posting on that site and advise before long.
