Has anyone ever tried sticking a piece of progrip to the bottom of their feet, rather than the boat? Benefits include: I'm telling you guys, it's the future, you heard it here first! Edited by Strawberry |

If you've got a few offcuts, you could line the palm of your gloves with it too! No more slippy ropes... And a special trick for Contender443, who's always biting the mainsheet: progripped teeth?
PS. Are you sure this thread doesn't belong in Banter? |

i think the best thing for that is a pice of elastik around your wast and you tuk the end of the main sheet in it so its alwase next to you and if you have a bid acedent as you do time to time it come out so it ont heart i know alot of the IC sailors do this and progrip is desind to prvid frishon on your show not you deck so it will not work as it is a diffrent kind of surfice

Stuberry I have a better idea. Sit in front of a PC playing Virtual Skipper 3 whilst breaking pieces of carbon over your knee and ripping up £20 notes. At the same time I'll smack you over the head with a spare boom and throw buckets of cold water over you.
Benefits include: No boat required No crew required No club membership required Sorted!!  |

Actually I'm working on a new substance - the stickiest known to man - ENC short for Essence of Nightclub Carpet. Progrip will be out of business.
