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) -

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,

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..
