: Am very gradually building a ply clinker dayboat inspired by Iain Oughtred's
: designs. He recommends sheathing the lower strakes with Dynel fabric. Is
: anyone aware of a UK supplier for this, or for an equivalent, [I assume
: Dynel is a US tradename]?

Fiberglass can be substituted for Dynel, it's not as abrasion resistant but it is considerably stronger and doesn't suck up the amount of resin that Dynel does so extra glass can be used to compensate for the decrease in abrasion resistance.
