ABSTRACT:
A system of elongated rails installed on the exterior hull surfaces of boats and projecting externally from the exterior hull surfaces of the boats, and having the functional attributes of: deflecting spray, reducing the tendencies of the bows to go under in choppy or turbulent seas, reducing heel and side-slipping while turning, contributing lift, acting as fenders to protect the hulls, providing accessible hand holds and foot steps, reducing the rocking motions of the boats and adding flotation to the boats. The rails are formed of a polymeric foam interior and a skin formed of a polymeric sheet or a fabric material.
