The distributors Marathon Leisure have a web page for finding a local dealer.  Select your area, then Boat Maintenance then Treadmaster

Thanks for getting back to me.

Have you ever used Treadmaster yourself?  What do you think of it?  Is it any good?

Treadmaster is great for nonslip, but it is heavy. I have it on my Finn where weight isn't an issue.

It is abrasive on the knees though, and I'd be incined to use Progrip on anything else than a Finn. I did the whole rear deck of my IC with it and was grateful for it.

You should try using the smooth pattern treadmaster its not such a harsh feeling design, in fact hense the smooth pattern name it is a lot softer and kinder.

What is this Progrip material that was mentioned???

Progrip is pretty much dinghy standard now! Its lighter, softer and just alround better then Treadmaster! I think it is some kind of foam based material! good struff! once i have removed all the treadmaster from my IC then i will be progripping it up!

What about sugar soap? Easy to do yourself and does the job well if not better.

EDIT

I don't think that is the right word for it... You mix sugar into soap, sand the boat down, paint it with the paint and its very grippy. I will post a picture in a few minutes of it on my boat.

ANOTHER EDIT

Pictures are on the other computer I will post one later this evening.

Doesn't it get a bit slippy having soap in your boat?
Needs to sail more...
