The P.15's had three different rub rails over the years. The early ones
were wood, these were made up until 1975. then HMS used a flange type, the
hull and deck had a horizontal flange where they were joined together. These
are rather easy to install, the newer boats fit the hull and deck together
like a coffee can. the deck fits over the hull and the rail is installed over
this joint. These might be a little harder to install, but they look much
better. Jerry Barrilleaux HMS 18 Sunshine
