I've never actually done it, but I've sometimes considered putting the perimeter lines around the side of the sheer with maroskes. This would act somewhat as a rubbing buffer for pier and slip walls while launching and landing.

That could work, and you could thread some small (fishing net type) floats on the lines as well (or pool noodles for sponsons?).

I've had a problem with knots on perimeter lines in the area fwd of the cockpit interfering with the paddle (stroke), so that's something to consider. It's probably not an issue with a low-angle stroke anyway.

KeelEzy is so ugly - I'd hate to see you mess up your boats with it. I've seen some industrial (3M??) textured (non-slip) tape for stair treads and the like that was transparent - perhaps that could work as a less-visible alternative. (?)
