I have an ageing RIB and looking to replace two anti slip protectors which have come loose. They are PVC and yellowed under the sun. They are fitted over the tubes on both sides, about 2.5m long and maybe 200mm-300mm width ( I have not measured ).

The tubes are made of neoprene.

I have looked around for a replacement material and have found some hypalon but it is very expensive. I could also buy PVC but it is trickier to stick onto neoprene and will deteriorate too.

On the photo you can see the discoloured anti-slip on top of the tubes mid-section.

Can anyone suggest a possible material / source - in UK or Greece? The boat is in Greece

Maybe you can find a paint that is compatible to the material and freshen it up?
