I reckon that would work quite well but probably a little thicker, . Say 3x2. It could be plain timber and be sacrificial. For really slack, you could put a cut in half plastic pipe. PVC would be too brittle and polyethylen would be hard to glue though a suitable resilience--

The rub rail could be perhaps 1" x3" with a beveled and concave lower edge and a simple radius on top edge. This would be a simple addition that could be added to existing harryproas and would not add to the construction complexity of new boat. It would also add docking protection that I think is often overlooked.
