Nigel Mills has created two brass rubbing strips that can be used to mount aft of the halyard and downhaul cleats on a boat’s cabin top. These strips serve as a protective barrier for the cabin top against rope friction and wear, as well as add an aesthetic element to the boat’s appearance.
Mills fashioned the strips out of high-quality brass, which resists corrosion and remains durable over time. They are designed to fit snugly against the cabin top, so there is no risk of water leakage or damage to the boat’s structure. They are also aesthetically pleasing, adding an element of elegance to the boat.
The strips can be easily installed by screwing them into place, and they provide a secure and stable surface for the halyard and downhaul cleats. They also protect the lines from getting damaged or frayed, which can lead to costly repairs or replacements.
Overall, Mills’ brass rubbing strips serve a dual purpose of protecting the boat and adding to its appearance. They are a smart investment for any boat owner looking to improve the longevity and aesthetic value of their vessel.
