Protection belt

They are more commonly known as chocks. I can sell you a pair.

u can make a set out of foam water noodles and a piece of line

tie 3 - 2' sections together into a bundle then run line through the middle (long enough to wrap around your hulls and tie together)

Google "WATER Ski Belt"

At first glance, being from up north, what came to my mind was Alpine ski belt and was wondering but after the results appearred in google, I saw the water ski belt and understood. 🙂

Good idea.

Thank you,

Fixed it

I'd go with the pool noodle solution, especially if you buy the $10 noodles. They are closed cell, stand up to the sun, & generally way tougher than the $1 Wally world models.
I don't think you will find those ski belts for sale in Canada, they have not been legally classed as a PFD for 20 years.(They float you butt up, head down) By the time you pay shipping from the US, it's a pricey solution to your problem.

not sure if this is still true but i recall as a kid in camp and we used those ski belts

if they were left wet or in the sun too long they would "melt" a little and stain (or even adhere a little) the surface of whatever they were on (on a sunfish of bench or even in the gear shed)

This may have been due to water being trapped in the foam or other reasons (this was a long time ago)

all i know is i can recall seeing them "bleed" and stain other items and i would be really bummed if they did that to my catamaran

I have had good luck with foam pipe insulation.. find some that has the sticky in the slit down the length of the pipe.. Grab a bungi with hooks on both ends.. Not a fancy looking but has worked well for me. I am a cheep skate..
