Getting the rub rails on Nymph was simply awful. On Rubens Nymph I
soaked them overnight in the pond, and they bent into place, roughly
clamped into place, with great ease. I let them dry out and the final
location and gluing and screwing was very easy.

Hi
Do both together, clamping/screwing alternately each side, so the strain is
always more or less equal. If one is entirely screwed in place before the
other, the twist will be locked in. The other rail won't be able to
completerly cancel it out when its put on second.
You can tie a string between the loose ends while you fasten the other, to
keep them under control -- doing them together sounds awkward, but it isn't
when you try it.
Have fun.

I'm cutting the rub rails for my Gypsy, and I clamped one on to see
how it would work. When I got it on my boat was twisted. I released
it, and she went back strait. Will this problem go away when I have
the second rail on or should I do them both at the same time to avoid
the twist?

Roger,
I didn't notice that problem with my Gypsy but I did do both rails at the
same time. Have you glassed the bottom yet? If not, that will stiffen things
up considerably. Try clamping both on and see how it looks--assuming you
have enough clamps (you never have enough clamps).
