Where to buy Rub Rail/How to install

My entire Rub Rail was lost on my recent cruise after hiting a Tropical Depression in the Gulf.

It is amazing to me how in the world this happen but it did?

Where can I buy Rub Rail for a Catalina 36 MKII?

Are there any guides on how to install it?

Thanks,
CJ

Catalina Direct has them, in both tan and grey..

I think it involves heating up the rubrail, and hitting it with a rubber mallet, but I've never done it!

Here's the link for the grey closed c-36 (mkI)

CJ, we purchased 80' of rub rail from Catalina at $1.76 per foot, in 2005 for
our 1995 C36MkII. To install, check the aluminum holder and pry out any
dents. Mark the new rail at the middle and start at the bow, put Liquid Nails in about 10' at a time, place the lower edge of the rail in the bottom grove, use a flat paint scraper to ease the top edge in and pound it home with a rubber mallet. Trim off any escess at the stern and mix a hearty rum and tonic.
